Sharing the love of Jesus Christ with everyone, leading them to celebrate Him in worship, fellowship with believers and grow them in Christ like maturity, while preparing them for ministry.

Our purpose statement is made up of five important tasks;

Evangelism; Worship; Fellowship; Discipleship; Ministry.
Our Church Goals

Evangelism is the word we use to describe the process of sharing Jesus Christ and His message of salvation to all who are willing to hear it.

Our Goal is to present God's message of salvation to every person living in Waterford and the surrounding areas.
Worship is the word we use to describe how we as a church celebrate God every Sunday.

Our Goal is to provide Worship services that are both exciting and God honoring.

Our dress is casual, our worship style is relaxed, our music is alive and fresh, and the preaching of God's word is Spirit filled and delivered in a refreshing style.

Fellowship is the word we use to describe what happens when believers are united with each other by our common baptism and faith in Christ.

Our Goal is to have each person who attends our church realize he belongs and is important.

It is our understanding that God Himself "adds to the body just as He purposes" and that ever person He adds is a "gift" to every other person in the body. Each person then gives of himself to every other person so that the whole body might become all that God has intended us to be.

Discipleship is the word we use to describe the process of bringing about a "Christ like maturity" in the lives of believers.

Our Goal is to provide a pathway for each member to follow that will enable them to grow in "Christ likeness" and will prepare them to answer the question, "Why you believe the way you do?" in a gentle and respectful way.

Ministry is the word we use to describe what each person is called by God to do within the fellowship of believers

Our Goal is to help each member come to understand what God is doing in their lives and preparing them to join Him in that work.
