Goals

Upreach
“And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”
    — 2 Corinthians 3:18

We are completely dependent on God as we seek to know Christ. Every heart is restless until it finds rest in Him. Through the Spirit, God is forming us into the image of Christ as we draw near to Him in worship, prayer, study, and service. Like Paul wrote, “I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.” (Philippians 3:8) Our goal is not simply to be good people, but to be people transformed by the presence of Christ.

Inreach
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
    — 2 Timothy 3:16–17

We are completely dependent on God’s Word as we seek to equip one another to share the gospel. The church grows strong when students are grounded in Scripture and shaped by truth. Like Paul told the Ephesians, Christ gave the church leaders “to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:12) Through community, study, and mentoring, we strive to build up believers who know the Word and can confidently live and teach it.

Outreach
“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them… and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.’”
    — Matthew 28:18–20

We are completely dependent on God as we go and make disciples. Just as Christ sought the lost, we follow Him into the world with the good news of salvation. As Augustine said, “You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” Every outreach, every act of service, every conversation is about helping others find that rest in Christ. Our prayer is that God would raise up students who are bold witnesses, faithful ministers, and lifelong servants wherever they go.
