Go Therefore...
The Lord has given us one clear mission, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20
In order to accomplish the task he has given us we use a 3 phase ministry strategy.
LEAVE:
Before we can reach our community with the love of Christ we must first remove the largest barrier to effective ministry: ourselves. We need to examine our motives and learn to rightly place others before ourselves. We follow the model that has been handed down to us from our Lord Jesus. He did not look to his own needs but to our needs and left his own life behind in order to love us.
LOVE:
After we have left ourselves behind, we feel that we are in a great position to start loving our community. We can now see beyond our own comfort zone and really see what it is our community needs. Through acts of service we want to share with our community an unconditional love. We love because Christ first loved us.
LEAD:
We believe that leadership must come from a real burden and love for the people; as such we desire to be leaders in our community through example. We want everyone in our community to experience the joy that we have found in the Lord Jesus. We lead people to this experience through love and service.
