| Information | |
Our worship is informal and spontaneous. It is based on the pattern of the Word of God. We believe that the people are the church. The building is where the body of Christ meets to unite in their worship. Below we outline who we are, why we exist and what we want to become. |

| Our Mission and Purpose | |

|
|
| Our Vision | |
| A New Testament church characterized by the evidence of God's presence and power that impacts West Richland and its surrounding communities. | |
| Our Core Values | |
| We value godly servant-leadership "Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ" (Eph. 4:12 NLT) |
|
| We value helping one another become genuine followers of the Lord Jesus "This work must continue until we are all joined together in the same faith and in the same knowledge about the Son of God. We must become like a mature person - we must grow until we become like Christ and have all his perfection" (Eph. 4:13 NCV) |
|
| We value contemporary praise and worship "Sing to the Lord a new song. Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful" (Ps. 149:1 NLT) |
|
| We value healthy relationships ". . . we will lovingly follow the truth at all times - speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly - and so become more and more in every way like Christ who is the Head of his body, the church. Under his direction the whole body is fitted together perfectly, and each part in its own special way helps the other parts, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love" (Eph. 4:15, 16 LB) |
|
| We value prayer "Pray at all times and on every occasion in the power of the Holy Spirit. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all Christians everywhere" (Eph. 6:18 NLT) |
|
| We value informality "A relaxed attitude lengthens a man's life" (Prov. 14:30a LB) "What matters is not your outer appearance - the styling of your hair, the jewelry you wear, the cut of your clothes - but your inner disposition. Cultivate inner beauty, the gentle, gracious kind that God delights in" (1 Pet. 3:3,4 MSG) |
