MISSION & VISION

Mission Community Church exists to glorify God by helping people meet, know, and follow Jesus through gospel-centered worship, community, service, and growth.

​

The vision of Mission Community Church is to be a marketplace church with wide-open doors. We desire to leverage a space not only for church gatherings on Sundays but also for community connection and service every day of the week.

​

VALUES

Discipleship is a central aspect of the Christian faith. This is because Jesus commanded His followers to “make disciples” (Mathew 28:18-20). What is discipleship? Simply put, discipleship means intentionally partnering with another person in order to help that person meet, know, and follow Jesus, so that then he or she can help others do the same. Our values drive every aspect of ministry at Mission Community Church. 

  • THE BIBLE • GOD WRITES A LETTER
    The Bible is God’s written word of who He is and what He has done in rescuing man throughout redemptive history. Human authors wrote the Bible under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Since the Bible contains the very words of God, it is without error and completely relevant to live an abundant, godly life. God’s Word is His love letter to us! Psalm 19:7-11; Proverbs 30:5; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21
  • THE TRINITY • GOD IS THREE PERSONS IN ONE
    The one, true God eternally exists in perfect relationship in three distinct persons, each with the same divine nature – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each person serves different functions, yet each person is equally divine. God exists as a Triunity! Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5-6; Matthew 28:17-20; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6; 2 Corinthians 13:14
  • THE FATHER • GOD IS GREAT, GOD IS GOOD
    God is incomprehensible and knowable; He is transcendent and imminent; He is great and good; He is all-knowing, unchanging, loving, just, gracious, merciful and above all, holy. He is ever faithful to His people and promises. God is heavenly Father! Job 38-40:1; Psalm 104:1; Matthew 6:9-13; John 20:17; 2 Corinthians 1:3
  • THE SON • GOD IS HUMAN, GOD IS HEAVENLY
    Jesus is completely human and completely divine. Jesus is the only way to have a relationship with God the Father. Because He lived a sinless life, Jesus satisfied God's demand for perfection. Perfect Jesus was punished for the sins of all people and defeated death through resurrection so that mankind could have a relationship with God the Father. Jesus is our Savior and King! John 1:1-4, 29; 10:1-18; Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Colossians 1:15-20; Hebrews 1:1-3; 1 Peter 3:18
  • THE HOLY SPIRIT • GOD IS EXISTENT, GOD IS EVERYWHERE
    The Holy Spirit brings the reality of God’s presence to God’s people. He is a person who draws people to the Father, exalts Christ, convicts people of sin, and guides the community of faith in all truth. The Holy Spirit comforts, imparts gifts, and makes us more like Jesus. God empowers every believer! Psalm 139:7-10; John 14:26; 16:7, 14; Romans 8:29; 1 Corinthians 2:13; 12:11
  • MAN • GOD CREATED IMAGE BEARERS
    God created man in His very own image and likeness; therefore, man is more like God than anything else in all creation. Man was created to be in perfect relationship with God by glorifying God through worship. Although God has no unmet needs, man brings delight to His heart as he lives in right relationship with Him. God sings and rejoices over us! Genesis 1:26-27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 43:7; Zephaniah 3:17
  • SIN • MAN OFFENDS GOD
    God requires perfection because He is a perfect God; as soon as man sinned, our perfect relationship with Him was broken. Any time we do not uphold God’s moral law or adhere to His holy character, we sin. We cannot maintain a right relationship with God in our own doing. Our sin keeps messing it up, but God continues to pursue us anyway! Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:23; 5:12; Ephesians 2:13
  • ETERNITY • MAN EXISTS SOMEWHERE FOREVER
    Man was created to exist forever. He will exist eternally either separated from God by sin in hell or united with God through forgiveness and salvation in Jesus in heaven. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence. God wants us with Him! John 5:28-29; 14:3; Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16
  • SALVATION • GOD IS ON MISSION
    God’s salvation of His people involves rescuing them from sin and restoring them to a right relationship with Himself. God’s only way of salvation is through the shed blood of Jesus on the cross, which provides forgiveness of sins. Salvation occurs when people place their faith and trust in the death and resurrection of Jesus as sufficient payment for their sin. God relentlessly pursues us! John 3:18; 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:21-26; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Timothy 2:5-6
  • THE CHURCH • IT'S A MOVEMENT, NOT A PLACE
    The church is the community of God’s redeemed people consisting of all who have placed their faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. The church is a group of people with a common conviction based on faith and belief. There is ultimately one Church: the global community of faith on earth plus those already in heaven. In our world, the Church takes on the form of countless local communities of faith, who are committed to the teachings of Jesus, obeying His commands, and bringing the gospel of Jesus to the world. As the church strives for love and unity, it gives glimpses of heavenly realities that are to come. God uses us to bring hope to others! 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:13-22; 1 Peter 2:5
