Our 2030 Church Vision
“Multiply”
Our church voted in May 2024 during our Local Church Conference to adopt this vision, mission, values, and strategy for 2030. Over the course of the next 6 years we are pursuing this God sized vision to multiply Christ's Kingdom now across the greater Syracuse region. Adopting the logo above it represents our vision as a church that we are pursuing something we cannot do by our own power but represents the Holy Spirit working in us to become Alive in Christ to Multiply his Kingdom Now. Because we are a church that is reaching others, not waiting for them to come to us. We are going, gathering, growing, and giving ourselves over to this mission. To love God, love others, make disciples, and mobilize the church into new communities. Are you ready to multiply? Join us on mission!

Our Ten Core Values
Biblically Based – The scriptures are the source of truth for us. Fully reliable for salvation, inerrant, and useful for every day. (2 Tim. 3:16)
Christ Centered – Everything starts with who Jesus is. His life models God’s plan for us. Jesus was God incarnate with us and we embody Christ in all we are. (John 1:1)
Discipleship Directed – We believe being a disciple of Christ is not a destination but a daily journey with one another. Christ taught his disciples to make disciples who trusted and obeyed all Christ commanded. (Matt. 28:19-20)
Evangelizing Everyone – We welcome those different from us at our tables so they may know Jesus Christ. We are called to love each person with their unique ethnicity, culture, religion, or ideology. The kingdom of God is not for one person but for all who repent and believe. We want to help every person discover a life changing relationship with God without ever compromising the truth of scripture. (Luke 19:10)
Generously Giving – We are called to give back to God from the blessings he has given us. We do this not for God’s need but out of our own need to recognize his authority over our resources. (2 Cor. 9:6-7)
Missionally Minded – The kingdom of God is global as Jesus called us to make disciples of all nations. We support the global/local work of God through whatever means we have. (Matt. 24:14)
Outreach Oriented – We cannot be a church to those inside the walls only. The church is called to go into the community without judgment to seek those dead in sin with all the sensitivity of Christ’s love. (Mark 16:15)
Persevering Prayer – Our lives are guided through a deep prayer life. Both individually and communally we pray continually as scripture calls us to without ceasing. Prayer aligns our every step as a church. (1 Thess. 5:17)
Sanctifying Spirit – We are all transformed by the Holy Spirit who imparts righteousness to do justice. We are sanctified by the work of God’s Holy Spirit to do good works. (Acts 2:17)
Worship Weekly – God has created a design of worship for every week. Christ directs our Sabbath with Worshiping together in the spirit and in truth as a community. We do this through preaching the word faithfully, lifting our voices as one to God, and asking the Spirit to move in us to build his Kingdom. (Matt. 18:20, Col. 3:16, Heb. 12:28)

Our Multiplication Strategy
As followers of Christ we are MOBILIZED by the Holy Spirit to GO to the unchurched in our region with the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ. We GATHER with the children of God to GROW them into mature disciples who are ALIVE in Christ. So that we can GIVE ourselves over to the CALL of Christ to CARE for the MARGINALIZED through God’s love.
1. GOING to the unchurched and dechurched both physically and digitally with the transformative gospel message. The Holy Spirit moves us to reach those who do not know the good news of Jesus Christ in the greater Syracuse region.
2. GATHERING the children of God into safe and meaningful worship environments that help them to build relationships with maturing believers.
3. GROWING mature disciples who are Alive in Christ through their pursuit of God’s word, that instructs us in all righteousness, and the Holy Spirit, who defeats the sinful nature to lead us into all holiness.
4. GIVING ourselves over to the call of Christ to love others by serving in our local church, our local community, and giving to God’s global mission to reach the ends of the earth. Specifically the marginalized who are the orphan, the widow, the foreigner, and those on the fringe that we are called and equipped to reach today.
