“Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.” 

Equipping - We desire through teaching and preaching God's Word to enable God's people to fulfill the purpose for which God made them within the local church.  II Timothy 3:16 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:” 

Exaltation – Jesus Christ is the head of our church. He alone is worthy of our fellowship and adoration.  Philippians 2:9-11 “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” 

Evangelization – Our Lord left us a Great Commission ~ to bring the "Good News" of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ to a lost world and to teach them the principles of God's Word by which we live our lives.  Matthew 28:19-20 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.”
