Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God. - William Cary

Read and study this passage.
Recast our mission strategy.
Mention some of our plans for this year.

God is always using past experiences to prepare us for future opportunities. But those God-given opportunities often come disguised as man-eating lions. And how we react when we encounter those lions will determine everything. We can cower in fear and run away from our greatest challenges. Or we run toward them and seize those God-ordained opportunities. - Mark Batterson, In a Pit with a Lion On a Snowy Day

Are there any lion chasers here this morning?

We exist to glorify God by proclaiming Jesus Christ and making disciples of all nations.

Word-Centered
We value the Word of God, striving that everything we do is Gospel-centered, grace-saturated, theologically driven, doctrinally sound, and biblically focused.

Authentic Worship
We value lifestyle and corporate worship that invites all people to experience God's presence and to honor Him through proclaiming His greatness.

Biblical Community
We value Christ-centered relationships, doing life together through personal and small-group discipleship that leads to disciple-making and life transformation for all.

Fervent Prayer
We value personal and corporate prayer that expresses our love for God, confesses our need for Him, and empowers us to live a God-honoring life.

Sacrificial Generosity
We value giving God our all, offering to Him our lives, time, service, and finances.

Missional Living
We value sending out all our members to live among non-believers in our city, our nation, and our world so they may see and hear the gospel.
