We are convinced that every church is unique.  Rather than try to be like other churches, we are committed to being the unique church that God has fashioned that we would be.  Our desire is to fulfill the distinct vision that God continues to reveal to us as a fellowship of faith.  Obviously, we are not a perfect church and we have yet to arrive in any of these areas.  However, we believe ....

We are a multi-generational church.

God continues to call literally every generation to partner with us in taking the Good News of Jesus Christ to Bradenton and beyond.  On any given weekend that we celebrate as a church family, you will discover people from every generation worshiping the Living God in our church.

WE ARE A FAMILY.

When a church gathers together, there is always a personality she portrays.  When we gather as a fellowship of faith, we hear from first-time guests and long-time partners, "This feels like home."

We are an equipping church.

In Ephesians 4:11f, Paul reminds the church in Ephesus that God has given the leaders (apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, teachers) to equip followers of Christ for ministry.  We are committed to developing people for personal ministry.

We are a Kingdom-focused church.

We are committed in the future to helping start new churches and strengthening existing churches.  We are committed to sending out Kingdom workers and developing strategic mission partnerships in addition to mobilizing short-term mission teams.
