OUR MISSION | OUR VISION | OUR METHOD
OUR MISSION.
We exist to proclaim the excellencies of Christ Jesus in Piqua, Miami County, and the world, through gospel-centered preaching, Christ-exalting worship, Christ-forming discipleship, and Christlike service, until Christ becomes all and in all.
This is the reason God has planted us in Piqua, Ohio. We believe gospel-centered Christian community is vital to the life of every Christian. We cultivate gospel community by gathering regularly for preaching, worship and prayer, accountability, fellowship, and encouragement. Along with our Sunday services, we meet in homes for bible-study, prayer, and fellowship.

OUR VISION
"That Christ would become all and in all."
In other words, to make everything and everyone all about Jesus. Our God is extraordinary. He came into the world to save undeserving sinners like us. The more we learn about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the more excited we become to see Him fill all things. We have learned that treasuring Christ over all things leads to lasting joy in all things.
So, we tell everyone.

OUR METHOD
Our church exists to proclaim the excellencies of Christ Jesus until Christ is all and in all.
We do this in four ways, through four channels.
These are the four engines which drive the ship.
-
Gospel-centered preaching
We believe the most important thing the church does is preach the gospel. The gospel is the good news that sinners are forgiven because of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Preaching the gospel is the center of everything we do.
-
christ-exalting worship
God sent His only Son into the world to save sinners like us. We're pretty excited about that. We sing about it. You'll find we enjoy some new songs, some classics, even some hymns. If it exalts Jesus and sounds good, we sing it.
-
Christ-forming discipleship
Jesus gave His church the task of going into the world to make disciples. Christ-forming discipleship--for us--means plugging into small groups, living in community, and growing in Christ together.
-
christlike service
Our desire is to spread the love of Jesus to our community. We take the message of the gospel seriously. Jesus gave Himself for us, so we give ourselves for others. Christlike service is about meeting the needs of our community.
