Our Mission
Embodying the presence of Christ to Sanford and the world.
Our Vision
We will be the hands and feet of Christ as we reach and disciple all people in a way that will CONNECT them to Christ and his Church; GROW them up in the truth of His word, worship, and love; teach them to use their God-given gifts to SERVE the church and community; and send them out to GO share the gospel with everyone they meet to connect more people with Christ and His Kingdom.
Core Values
We believe that God has called us to be fruitful and to multiply. Therefore, as we grow, we will plant churches and partner with others to advance His Kingdom in our city and beyond.
God-focused intergenerational worship.
Worship is far more about God than about us! In our worship, we gather as the body of Christ-followers from all generations in an encounter with the living God as he has revealed Himself in Scripture and supremely in His Son, Jesus Christ.
Bible-centered life-impacting Bible study.
Because we believe that the Bible is God’s inspired word, it is central to all that we do.
The Bible bears witness to God’s character, His great eternal redemptive purpose in this world, His saving work in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the way of life He calls us to follow as Jesus’ disciples (both individually and as a church).
Hands-on relationship-driven missions.
We are on mission with God in the world. God’s mission, which He commands His church to participate in, is a redemptive mission that is both local and global in scope. Because God has rooted us in the city of Sanford, He has given us a special responsibility to bear witness to our city and the surrounding communities through our works, our words, and our way of life.
Discipleship that expands the Kingdom’s missional capacity
We believe that discipleship is a process that helps believers become more like Christ through intentional, mission-focused life application of the Holy Scriptures. As believers come to a saving faith in Christ, they are connected to His church and more seasoned believers must be committed to help new believers learn to follow Christ by utilizing their time, talents and resources to expand the Kingdom as they serve Him using their gifts.
A family where anyone seeking Christ can belong
We are a family of faith that gladly welcomes anyone seeking to learn about Christ and his invitation to follow Him. We joyfully accept repentant followers of Christ whom God calls to become a part of our congregation.
