Embracing Missional Living: Prioritizing Community Engagement and Outreach

In today's church landscape, questions around community service, missions, and outreach are more pressing than ever. We must navigate the tensions between gathering as a church and scattering into our communities. Our strategy is rooted in identity—in Christ and in being a sending church. Missions is not merely a program; it’s a lifestyle that engages both local and global contexts. By understanding our unique design and mission, we can effectively plant the Gospel and establish healthy, sustainable communities that honor the priesthood of believers.
