Our Purpose, Vision and Mission

 
Our Purpose

The purpose of our church is to progressively become "An authentic model of Christ-like community that experiences, demonstrates and shares the love of God."

Jesus' Great Commandment and Great Commission are the foundation for all we are and do.

The Great Commandment: "Jesus said: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart .... soul .... and mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Matthew 22:37-40 (NIV)

The Great Commission: "Jesus said, 'Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you' ...." Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)

  • To "Love God with all your heart" is worship.
  • To "Love your neighbor as yourself" is ministry.
  • To "Go and make disciples" is evangelism.
  • To "Baptize ...." is to assimilate into fellowship.
  • To "Teach them to obey everything" is discipleship.

Our Vision

The vision of our church is to be a catalyst to transform greater Atlanta from a "culturally Christian" city to a "global strategic training center" for the cause of Jesus Christ ....
   
  • by producing full-grown Christians
  • who are authentic worshippers,
  • equipped and motivated to reach spiritually lost people in their specific spheres of influence,
  • according to their unique gifts and passions in the context of authentic community.

Our Mission


The mission of our church is growing people to impact their world and beyond.
