Our second objective is to connect people to people by having them participate in smaller groups. Whether it is on Sunday morning or during the week, we believe that God has wired us to need others and desire to have relationship with other believers. Discipleship, encouragement, and accountability will be found as we connect to other people.
Our third objective is to connect people to service. Jesus called us to servanthood as His followers, and it is through ministry (service) that true discipleship comes to fruition in the believer’s life. It is then, through our service, that new people will be connected to God and begin their own journey of faith.

We covenant with Christ and one another to establish as our minimum personal objectives:
