Our vision is clear: to see God’s hope transform our cities one story at a time. In this powerful Vision Sunday message, Pastor Aaron McRae unpacks what it means to live as a people marked by transformation through Jesus and how our church is called to live out God’s mission together.

This year, we’re focusing on four key mission strategies:
1️⃣ Experiencing God’s Love – discovering the life-changing reality of God’s love through Jesus (1 John 4:7-10, Acts 2:47).
2️⃣ Growing in Community – building authentic, soul-level relationships that strengthen our faith (Hebrews 10:24-25, Acts 2:42-47).
3️⃣ Serving with Compassion – meeting needs in our church, city, and world with the heart of Jesus (Matthew 9:36).
4️⃣ Multiplying Impact – raising disciples, leaders, and churches for lasting Kingdom impact (Ephesians 4:12-13).

As we look toward our 50th anniversary in 2029, we are committed to being a Christ-centered community marked by love, generosity, and transformation. Imagine the impact if each of us lives out this vision daily—together, we’ll see God move in ways we can’t yet imagine.
