WHY WE EXIST
Jesus is the perfect image (eikon) of the invisible God.
Jesus is also the perfect image (eikon) of what it means to be human and to be in perfect relationship with the Father.
We as the church are called to fulfill our identity as those made in the image (eikon) of God.
Because of Jesus, the perfect eikon and human, this identity is being redeemed
and fulfilled in the midst of many broken eikons.
The fulfillment of this identity is the outworking of God’s salvation into every area of creation.

Memory Verse for JUNE
“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.”
Psalm 127:1 ESV
We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God’s original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. And when it comes to the church, he organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body.
[ Colossians 1:15-18 MSG ]
VISION
To fulfill the REDEMPTIVE work of Jesus, the perfect EIKON,
from the heart of the CITY to the ends of the EARTH.
Colossians 1:15-23
