Our Mission: To love others with the heart of Jesus, making Christ-like disciples in the world around us.
What Does Our Mission Mean? Love. Discipleship. Our World.
We will love all people through both words and actions that reflect the values of Jesus Christ’s holy kingdom. All people are made in God’s image and worthy of dignity, love, respect, compassion, mercy, and grace. We are a church that is motivated by our love for God first; as a result of our love for God, we also love our neighbor. We will seek to love God and neighbor with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. We will humbly love the people we encounter through words and actions that reflect Jesus Christ’s divine love, truth, and authority.
We will constantly challenge ourselves to humbly submit to God so that we grow to become more like Jesus Christ, genuinely and prayerfully seeking after God’s Holy Spirit to fill us and sanctify us. This growth happens through authentic discipleship: committing to being an active part of the community of a local church, encouraging one another in walking in Jesus Christ’s footsteps, helping one another build our love for God and neighbor, and learning about God’s truth and love in the foundation of scripture.
We will be on mission where we are, in the present, and impact the people around us in our daily lives. For the local church, this means focusing on carrying out our mission in the local community, making a tangible and positive impact for God’s kingdom where we are. While our main focus to show God’s love is first in the Buffalo area, we recognize that we are part of Jesus Christ’s global and historic Church. Therefore we will strive to show God’s love faithfully and with wisdom on a regional, national, and global level with opportunities God provides.
