MISSION,  VALUES,  AND  VISION

Our Mission:
To share the Gospel with people and help them to become passionate followers of Jesus Christ.

Our Values:
Faith

  • The Bible is God’s Word to us and the basis of our faith.  For this reason, biblical preaching and teaching are vital.
  • Living by grace through faith—trusting totally in the leadership and power of the indwelling Holy Spirit—is our means to the end of being a church God uses  His glory.
  • Prayer is the most important single, ministry action of faith, leading and undergirding all else that we do.
Transformation
  • Lost people—here and around the world—matter to God, and they matter to us.   
  • For the Christian, the goal of spiritual growth is becoming like Christ—exhibiting the fruit of the Spirit and being on mission with God.
Giving
  • We believe that God loves “gracious” givers, those who give willingly, cheerfully, and sacrificially of their time, talents, and resources.  We will be the kind of givers God loves.
  • Generosity—excelling in the grace of giving—is our goal.
Relationships
  • God calls for loving relationships among Christians and these loving relationships must permeate every aspect of church life.
  • No greater relationship within the larger church family exists than the home.  We are called to strengthen marriages and family relationships.
Authentic Worship
  • Worship is a matter of the heart—an experience of spirit and truth.  “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
  • Worship is not about style;  t is about Jesus, and Who He is, and what He has done for us.
  • We honor God’s supreme value and worth in our personal lives and in our corporate worship.
Compassionate Ministry
  • God’s people are created for acts of service, calling us to love others as Christ loved us.
  • God loves the lost, the least, and the lonely—and so must we, touching lives and offering hope through Jesus Christ.
Excellence
  • We value excellence in everything we do.  God deserves the best we have to offer.  God is Himself a God of excellence—creating a perfect and beautiful world and then giving His best—His only Son.
  • We embrace the call to do what we do “with all our hearts, as working for the Lord, not for men.”  Excellence honors God and inspires people.
Our Vision:
To be known in Tupelo as a church taking the lead of Jesus . . . letting Him lead and empower us by His indwelling Spirit and using us as a  servant people on mission to Tupelo, Lee County, the region, and the world.
