Mission & Vision

God is fulfilling His purposes in history: bringing glory to Himself through the work of Christ on the cross as the Holy Spirit moves in the hearts of men and women from all people groups. The work of Christ is to change man’s heart, so that what he once ran from now becomes his greatest treasure and pleasure—God Himself. What a thrill to experience such delights and to share the source at home and around the world. 

God is building his church and it is through the church that he displays his glory to the world. The church exists in the form of local congregations that serve as embassies of his heavenly kingdom. These communities faithfully preach and teach God's Word, they practice the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, and they love one another with a love that comes from God. They also love and serve their neighbors in ways that reflect the love of our Savior. We long to see more churches planted and struggling churches revitalized here and around the world.

We stand firmly on God’s Word as our ultimate authority, trusting Scripture to shape our beliefs, our worship, and our daily lives.

We are committed to helping one another follow Jesus in every area of life, growing in faith together through intentional spiritual relationships.

We desire to live as a diverse and multigenerational spiritual family, meeting people where they are and caring for one another with Christlike love, hospitality, and grace.

We seek to make disciples of all nations by sharing the good news of Jesus with our neighbors and by maintaining a special focus on reaching the unreached around the world.

We rely on God in all things, seeking His wisdom, power, and presence through fervent and continual prayer.

We intentionally use our time, gifts, and ministries with wisdom and focus, aligning everything we do around our mission and vision to maximize kingdom impact.

We pursue a distinctly Christian life of learning that applies all of God’s Word to all of life, transforming us to become more like Christ.

Paul makes it clear that churches will have “good purposes” — they will have goals. They are goals that can only come about as God’s people identify what He is calling them to strive for and trust Him to fulfill. At the Chapel our team of elders leads by carefully and prayerfully setting long-range and annual goals. Our annual Prayer & Action Goals don’t describe everything we will do in the coming year. Rather they identify areas that are in some way broken and need to be fixed or areas in which God is on the move and He would have us build upon what He is doing.
