God has called us to reach out to Warsaw and the surrounding area, and to impact our community and the world by developing reproducing followers of Christ.

    Inside our walls we are building up the body of Christ. This involves a variety of ministries designed to help each person actively involved in our church become all that God desires all of us to become. It starts on the inside, by helping people understand what it means to trust Christ. Then we help people grow in their personal walk with God, in prayer, Bible study, worship, and fellowship with others. As we minister to one another, we encourage each other to take the next step we need to take in our walk with God and in our spiritual development as His children. The whole process must be based on loving relationships of concern for one another. If people don't feel loved, they may not stick around to allow us to help them become what God wants each of us to be.   1 Pet. 2:5; Eph. 4:11-16; Heb. 10:24-25; 1 Tim. 6:18-19; 1 John 3:16-18

    All of our activities inside our walls, are designed to help us become more effective outside our walls, so that we can reach out to our community and show people what God has done for us, and what He wants to do for them. The world is our mission field; the church is where people are prepared to carry the good news of Christ to our neighbors, our community, and around the world. If we aren't effective in reaching out to our neighbor, then our church isn't accomplishing all that God wants us to accomplish.   1 Pet. 2:9; Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Rom. 10:14-15
