Who We Are...	Our Mission Statement:
	Vision: We are a healing, redemptive fellowship committed to the worship of the Living God, evangelizing the unsaved and assimilating the saved into the body toward a godly world view for the 21st century. We facilitate spiritual maturity through equipping, mentoring, discipling, small groups, necessary staffing and facility development.
	Staff Team: As a servant-team, we gladly encourage you to get better acquainted with our church family and friends. We are grateful for the stability and strength that comes from the past and the faithful foundation of community ministry that has been built since our church incorporation in 1854. But we are also excited about the fresh vision and opportunities for growth that exist now and in our future that will bring new possibilities to fulfill our missional living summed up in our purpose statement above. Celebrate with us our church home – a special place in a world that can often be unnerving, lonely and uncaring. Share our commitment to the Bible, prayer, ministry and excellence together. Appreciate this network of people who, with God’s help, provide a friendly place to grow in knowing and living God’s unchanging Word in a rapidly changing world.
