Components of our mission

Together, we view the following as essential components of our mission:

• 敬拜, reminding us who God is, what God has done for us, who we are as a community, 和 what we are called to do in the world.
• 门徒, committing to individual 和 corporate habits by which students learn about 和 practice what it means to follow Christ.
• 和解, participating in God’s work of reconciling all things in Christ, whether personal or communal, physical or spiritual, 本地或全局.
