(The initiative of God)
to redeem a people for His own possession and pleasure; that they would worship,
honor, glorify, and enjoy Him forever.
 -
(The provision of God)
for man; that he would learn of God's Divine Person, His
standard of holiness, man's hopelessness and sinful condition, and God's great
love historically demonstrated toward man and culminating in the Person of Jesus
Christ and His substitutionary sacrifice on their behalf.
 -
(The gift of God)
to His redeemed people that they might experience His intended joy
of interpersonal relationships with people of like precious faith, that together
they might successfully live unto the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus
Christ.
To exalt Jesus Christ
by spreading the good news of His redeeming work in behalf of all people, that
they might turn from their sins and its eternal punishment, to the living God
and His gift of eternal life.
We desire to be a
significant part of God’s plan to better reach this county
with the life-changing claims of Jesus Christ. We will seek to do this
through the accurate and relevant proclamation of the Scriptures, through
culturally relevant worship, through an atmosphere of acceptance and love, and
through lives lived in loving submission to His benevolent will as revealed in
the Bible.

Most people think church is
irrelevant! Why?
This weekend only 25% (at most) of our Orange County neighbors
will attend church. Only 40% claim membership in a church of
any denomination. That means that 60-70% are not interested in
what traditional churches have to offer. The need is obvious,
churches must be sensitive to those who have the greatest
need.
Surveys show that certain demographic groups, particularly
younger adults, are under-represented in churches. Many of
these people, while claiming to believe in God, Jesus and the
Bible, do not attend church because they question the
relevance and integrity of "organized religion."

Mankind's greatest need is to see themselves as God sees them. only then
