Worship:
To draw near to God in grateful praise and thanksgiving for our salvation and for all of our other blessings (James 4:8, Romans 12:1, Hebrews 10:25).

As a result of these blessings, we strive to share the good news of Christ with everyone who needs to hear (Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 1:8).
Discipleship:
To teach the Word of God in order to equip Christians to walk with Jesus and to faithfully serve Him (Matthew 28:20, Acts 18:11, Colossians 3:16).
Ministry:
To provide a network of loving concern and support for those in need (Matthew 25:34-40, Galatians 6:2, 10).
Fellowship:
To encourage one another in Christian love and spiritual growth, working together in a spirit of unity (Hebrews 10:24, Ephesians 4:3-4, Acts 2:42).
