The gospel makes a new community with a mission to live for Christ everywhere.

Gospel
The gospel is the good news about Jesus Christ and what he has done to forgive our sins, defeat death and hell, and restore us to the life we were created to live together (Matt. 1:21; Mark 1:15; John 1:12-13; 1 Cor. 15:1-11; Eph. 2:16).
Community
God has made the church to be a new community of forgiven sinners—a reconciled people who gather to proclaim and live the gospel in everything (Mark 12:30-31; Acts 2:42-47; 2 Cor. 5:18-20; Eph. 2:19-21; 2 Pet. 2:9-12).
Mission

The church's purpose is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus by making disciples of all nations and declaring the greatness of our Creator in every aspect of life. (Matt 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; Php. 2:9-11; Rev. 11:15)
