We exist to experience, reflect and extend the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is the breakthrough of the personal, dynamic rule of God in and through the Person of Jesus Christ and through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Experiencing the Kingdom of God
When a person or a community experiences the coming of the Kingdom they experience the presence of God. Essential to such encounters with th
e presence of God are grace and forgiveness, healing and salvation, and the establishing of the Lordship of Christ. There are often visible signs of his presence, manifestations of the Holy Spirit. Reflecting the Kingdom of God
Whenever God's Kingdom breaks through Christian community is established. The essence of Christian community is worship and enjoyment of God, discipleship and growth in grace, and love and service toward one another. Such visible signs are the testimony of the community to the Kingdom. Extending the Kingdom of God
Whenever a community is created out of the coming of the Kingdom there is a desire for and a power given to extend the Kingdom. This occurs in three basic ways. Within the locality the community reaches out to the world around it in service and evangelism. A ministry of renewal develops towards the wider Christian community. A vision for mission and church planting becomes the primary focus towards the larger world. Such extensions of the Kingdom become the criteria for measuring all the goals of the community.
