The 5 Purposes

It is known that every church is driven by something. Whether it be its programs, finances, tradition, personalities, events, or even its music, there is a controlling force in a church. For a church to survive, though, it must uphold the five New Testament purposes given by Jesus of Fellowship, Discipleship, Ministry, Evangelism, and Worship. These 5 purposes are found in the Great Commandment and Great Commission.

We use these purposes in our mission statement as you saw on the main beliefs page. These five purposes are commonly known as the "5 M's" and we have charted them below.
