- changes lives through the Gospel of Jesus Christ calling Christians to lives of:
- discipleship
- discovery of new ways to communicate and live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ
- welcome and witness to all no matter where they are on life's journey of faith
- practicing compassion and justice as signs of Christ's presence in the world
