We fulfill our purpose through these seven priorities:

* Worship: We desire worship that touches God's heart in a style that is intimate, dynamic, and culturally current.
* Word: We want to study, teach and obey the bible.
* Prayer: We are committed to the face that we can be agents of change through prayer.
* Fellowship: We seek to develop real friendships built on Christ's love.
* Ministry: We believe that all Christians are called to minister God's mercy to the lost, the sick and the poor.
* Training: We aim to provide training for all aspects of responsible Christian life and ministry.
* Evangelism: We seek to prepare individuals and send out missionaries to reach the lost with the Good News of Christ.
