Our mission as a church is—
To connect people to an everlasting, committed relationship with Jesus Christ and with others.
Our vision is—
To be a multiplying movement of passionate followers of Jesus who impact their communities and beyond with grace, love, and hope.
We know WHAT we are to do with our Purposes…
But HOW do we do Mission, Vision, and Purpose?
Our DNA answers that question— “How Do We Do Church?” Our DNA is our unique Culture here at FC, our Core Values, our Code of Conduct that establishes How We Do Church in order to see our Mission accomplished and our Vision realized. Each ministry and the way we operate them here is driven by our DNA.
The following are our DNA Statements:
We’re the Coast Guard,
NOT the Yacht Club.
“It’s not about us and being comfortable. It’s about reaching those who are perishing without Christ, and exponentially growing His Kingdom.”
If you’re Saved, You Serve.
“We are not consumers.
Everyone contributes to Kingdom-growth
with time, treasure, and talent.”
We are for
THIS Generation.
“Youth ARE the Church of Today, our VIPs, our most fertile soil, our greatest evangelists, and are to be invested in by their elders.”
We encourage
Innovation.
“We envision creative, applicable, and clear ways to aggressively reach those no one is reaching, and to help those who know Christ grow.”
We’re for Anyone, Not Everyone
“We are welcoming to anyone, but we understand not everyone will get our vision. That’s okay— We’re focused on God’s unique calling for us.”
We are
Water Buffalos
“There is health, growth, and protection
from roaring lions in the herd of authentic community.”
We choose Fun.
“Pharisees were Party-Poopers. Jesus was the life of the party. Church is fun, Jesus is celebrated, and life is lived abundantly.”
We do More
by doing Less
“By keeping things simple, we can focus on intentionally planning what’s most effective, and do so with excellence.”
We Ride Waves & Roll with Punches.
“We don’t play it safe— We have big faith to Step-In to the water to ride the waves of momentum, and to Step-Up when life gets tough.”
There is No Fence.
“There’s no fence to SIT on here— We STAND behind the leaders and vision. If we’re here, we’re All-In. If we’re not All-In, we’re not here.”
