About Faith - Our Purose
Our mission is stated at the top of our site -
To be a Christ-centered community committed to Loving, Serving, Sharing and Growing so that all might
experience the love of Jesus Christ.
We have been called by God in the Great Commandment and the Great Commission to be Christ to the world;
to show God's love through the lives that we lead.
Great Commandment - Mark 12:28-34
One of the scribes, when he came forward and heard them disputing and saw how well he had
answered them, asked him, "Which is the first of a1l the commandments?" Jesus replied, "The first is
this: 'Hear O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with al1 your
heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'You
shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." The scribe
said to him, "Well said, teacher. You are right in saying, 'He is One and there is no other than he.'
And 'to love him with your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your
neighbor as yourself' is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices." And when Jesus saw that
[he] answered with understanding, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And no
one had the courage to ask him any more questions.
(Mark 12:28-34)
Great Commission - Matthew 28:18-20
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I
am with you always, to the very end of the age."
