Norris Ferry exists to glorify God by loving Christ, Christians, Neighbors, and Nations. As we do this we will be part of God’s mission of spreading His gospel from neighbors to nations. We are not simply building one church in the Norris Ferry community; rather, we are seeking to establish a church that will raise up and send out an army of gospel missionaries who spread the gospel in their own homes, in their workplaces, in their neighborhoods and beyond- continuing the mission we see in Acts. In one way or another we view every member as a gospel missionary.
