Our Mission
We define a mission statement as a description of how a church community plans to live out the vision. Ours is the following:
“Practicing the Way of Jesus together in Metro Vancouver”
Why?
Every word in our mission statement is selected for a purpose. We want to live out and practice the Christian life of cruciformity. We live in response to the atonement that is Jesus Christ’s Life, Death and Resurrection; we’re going to do this together where we live and work all over Metro Vancouver. As a church community, we believe this is exemplified in a Christ follower’s life in the following ways:
To Behold Christ:
We want to be in relationship with Jesus. We believe in having an interactive and personal relationship with the Triune God; to grow in spiritual maturity by the power of the Holy Spirit through prayer, scripture, and communion with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
To Embody Christ:
God is a “sent and sending God.” As we enter into a relationship with Jesus, we are given a new identity, and a new mission. As children of God we are a sent people into the world, sent by a sent God. Jesus was sent by the Father; the Holy Spirit is sent by the Son and we are sent as followers of Jesus, empowered by the Spirit to make disciples in everyday life.
