Ignite...Inspire...Invest


I wish to define and describe the ministry that the Lord has called us. These simple statements drive us to become the people of God that can and will make a difference in our community for Christ.

We exist to ignite passion for God, inspire life, and invest life because Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)

Ignite Passion for God

  • Worship – surrendered heart presenting love and affection to the Lord.
  • Life style evangelism – spreading the excitement of Jesus to everyone we come in contact.  
               

Inspire Life Transformation

  • Bible study through small groups
  • Mentoring relationships
  • Meaningful fellowship
John 13: 34-35 - A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Lives will not change without sincerity – fake never made a transformation – we desire to make more than an impact we are called for transformation. 

Invest Life

  • Serving the church body through encouragement, care, and compassion. John 13:1b – “Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love.”
  • Serving the community through projects, bridge events, volunteering, and involvement
  • Serving the world through mission projects, trips, and gifts

“Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." 
Mark 10:43-45 

 It's not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave. That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not to be served—and then to give away his life in exchange for many who are held hostage."  Mark 10:43-45 The Message
