OUR MISSION AND MESSAGE
Our Lord and Savior commanded us, His church, to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20), and to "be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8). In response to Jesus’ "great commission," we are actively committed to "making disciples" and being His "witnesses" locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.

We are not a political group; we do not have a political mission or message. Our mission and message is primarily spiritual and directed to the needs of the heart. Our simple message of grace is that through faith in Jesus Christ we can receive forgiveness of sins and the assurance of eternal life in heaven. The Holy Spirit, who comes into our lives when we believe, gives us a new life of purpose and a desire to serve God and others. As we grow in grace, we slowly but surely begin to exhibit Christ-like qualities such as love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, humility and the readiness to forgive. Through the Scriptures, the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, and the support of our fellow believers, we are able to handle the ups and downs of life in the real world.

We are committed to sharing this message of the good news of Jesus Christ through personal involvement in outreach and missions, as well as by praying for and financially supporting those who are involved in the "great commission".

Below are some of the people, ministries, and missions for which we pray for and support.

Kingsmill and Williamsburg
Our primary mission is to our community, Kingsmill, and our town, Williamsburg.  We want to reach out with love, care and compassion to all those who are in need in our neighborhood.  We do this mostly informally,  spontaneously, and behind the scenes.  We also desire that our church fellowship will be a "safe" place where
those who are seeking can find faith, hope and love.  We want to meet spiritual needs of the heart as well as the practical needs of everyday life.
