Our Vision : It’s just not an acronym, it’s our vision.
Our desire is to see middle school students find their full identity, their whole being, the things they do, the things they say, their passions, their gifts, their desires, in Jesus and the Cross of Christ, seeking all that Christ is for their lives.
All 6th-8th graders are welcome to attend!
Our Values
Personal Relationship “Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.” John 15:4
Our God is not a far off, unreachable God. He’s close, personal, and desires that covenant relationship with us.
Scripture/Gospel Centered Teaching “For the word of God is living and active.” Hebrew 4:12a
Scripture is the inspired Word of God. All scripture is God-breathed, and is the authority of our Christian lives.
Worship “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship.” Romans 12:1
Worship isn’t just music, it incorporates our whole life. Every aspect of our life is our worship to God.
Love & Encouragement “But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.” Hebrews 3:13
The love and mercy of Christ is shown through our love for Him, as well as our love for others.
A Mission ’s Heart/Evangelism & Service “Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.” Psalm 96:3
Our compassion for the world to know Jesus Christ goes forth through our mission, evangelism, and service to the community.
Joy in Christ “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10
The grace of God proceeds all that is good; therefore, our joy is found in Christ Jesus.
