Mission & Vision

Love God. Love People. Make Disciples.

Our Core Values
The convictions that move us forward.

1. Gospel Transformation

We believe the Gospel isn't just a message to be heard, but a power to be experienced. From our first meeting in 1968 to our services today, we are committed to the truth that Jesus Christ changes lives, heals families, and restores communities. We don’t just attend church; we are a people being made new.

2. Relational Discipleship

Our story began in a living room, and that "home-grown" intimacy remains in our DNA. We believe faith grows best in the context of community. We are committed to walking alongside one another—sharing burdens, studying the Word, and encouraging each person to take their next step with Jesus.

3. A Legacy of "Sending"

We do not measure success merely by seating capacity, but by our sending capacity. Following our history of planting chapels in Hamden and Kerr, we remain a "sent" people. We empower our members to live as missionaries in their neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools, ensuring the light of the Gospel reaches every corner of Southeast Ohio.

4. Family-Centered Foundations

We recognize that the family is the primary greenhouse for faith. Following the example of the families who founded this church, we prioritize equipping parents, supporting marriages, and investing in the next generation. We are building a spiritual home where every generation—from the youngest to the oldest—finds a place to belong.
