Our Vision:
We want to be a dynamic and growing church by providing a variety of exciting and relevant worship, service and spiritual growth opportunities for families and individuals in Cranberry Township, Mars and the surrounding area.
Our Purpose:
To share the Good News of Jesus Christ with people and lead them into a fully devoted relationship with Him.
Our Strategy:
Multi-Site
To become a community of faith that uses a Multi-Site model to be one church in many locations. The Multi-Site model gives us the opportunity to cross boundaries into new neighborhoods and segments of our community and the world in new and challenging ways to make disciples.
The Great Commission: Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19 (NIV)
Externally Focused
Engaging people by serving outside the walls of the church to do good work, create goodwill, and share the good news of Christ with the community.
The Great Commandment: Love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:39 (NIV)
Dynamic Worship:
To offer different styles of worship that expresses our love for God and provides inspiration, motivation, direction, comfort and transformation to those who attend.
The Great Commandment: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. Matthew 22:37 (NIV) God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. John 4:24 (NIV)
Multi-Generational
This means we will intentionally build Multi-Generational ministries into the fabric of our church culture. At every opportunity we will try to have intersections where all age groups can participate together in worship, mission, outreach and service together.
The Holistic Congregation: Place these words on your hearts. Get them deep inside you. Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder. Teach them to your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning until you fall into bed at night. Deuteronomy 11:18-21 (MSG)
Small Groups
Small Groups are weekly, bi-weekly and monthly gatherings in homes, at church and local business in Cranberry Twp. They exist to inspire spiritual growth, centered around the Bible, worship, prayer and doing outreach service together.
The Building Of Friendships: They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer…All the believers were together and had everything in common... Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. Acts 2:42-47 (NIV)
