Vision

Our Mission

To connect people to the presence and power of Jesus Christ.

Jesus once asked the crowd that was following him “are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. Walk with me and work with me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

This promise is as true today as when he spoke it. Everything we do is to help the people of Charleston County and beyond experience the love of God and be transformed by God’s power.

Our Vision

To play our part in the re-evangelization of the world and the transformation of our society.

Vision is a clear picture of what we see the church being and doing. Vision is the product of God’s work in us – He creates the vision we receive it. To fulfill our vision these are some of the things God has worked into our hearts and is stretching us to become:

  • A church where people will encounter Jesus Christ through worship, teaching and ministry.
  • A church that is marked by both personal and corporate prayer.
  • A church where lives are changed and hearts are healed through the power of the Word and the presence of the Spirit.
  • A church marked by a radical obedience to Jesus Christ and His teachings.
  • A church where every member is a minister living out God’s purposes for their life.
  • A church that reproduces other churches.
  • A church that reflects God’s compassion for those on the margins of society.
  • A church that believes that the world is its parish.
  • A church that pioneers new expressions of worship for a new generation of people.
  • A church that not only welcomes and receives children but actually devotes a significant amount of time, energy and money to serve their needs.
