OUR MISSION

• WHY WE EXIST •

 

Substance Church exists to make disciple-makers.

A disciple-maker is someone who has been
transformed by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live out the passions and priorities of Jesus which we see as being: a Great Commandment Love (Mark 12:30-31) and a Great Commission Lifestyle (Matthew 28:18-20)

OUR VISION

 • HOW WE LIVE OUT OUR MISSION •

 

 

INVITE • INVEST • IGNITE

We accomplish our mission through our Sunday gatherings and our Pathway Ministries which are different types of small groups that meet throughout the week. Each Pathway Ministry has the same goal: to invite, invest, and ignite others to live out and share the
gospel of Jesus in every facet of their lives.

 

 

OUR VALUES

GOSPEL CENTERED • RELATIONALLY DRIVEN • GOD GLORIFYING

 

 

GOSPEL CENTERED

Because we've been transformed by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we want every part of our lives to reflect the good news of the gospel that was given to us by grace through faith in Christ alone! As the church, we value keeping the gospel central in everything we think, say and do
(2 Timothy 1:8-10).

  

  

RELATIONALLY DRIVEN

Because our identity is grounded and secure in Jesus Christ, we are free to sacrificially love others the way Jesus loves us. As the church, we value walking through life's joys and bearing one another's burdens together, while loving our neighbors as ourselves 
(Romans 12:9-13).

 

 

GOD GLORIFYING

Because we strive to keep the gospel at the center of everything we do, God receives all the glory as we enjoy Him forever! As the church, we value exalting the name of God in our praise, prayers and preaching of Him 
(1 Corinthians 10:31-33).
