Our Mission

Our Lord Jesus Christ commanded that we should go and make disciples of all nations.

The purpose of this congregation is to give honor and glory to God through our Savior Jesus Christ, to carry out His will and to assist in preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all the world.

We pledge ourselves to study the Scriptures and to use the Sacraments faithfully.

We maintain this Christian fellowship to strengthen one another in our commitment to Christ's mission, to promote Christian unity and to serve the needs of all people in Christian love.

We shall minister in Christian concern to the unchurched in our surroundings and provide special encouragement to youth in our midst.
