Our Mission

Our mission is to partner with the Holy Spirit in persuading generations to take a "Journey into God's Greatness"—a journey that empowers people to live, love, and light up the dark like Christ.

Our Vision

R — Revival

The personal, regional, and global expansion of God's Kingdom through prayer and life-changing encounters with His priorities and His presence (worship and Word).

O — Operating

Operating in the gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit to advance hope and healing in the church and community. We believe praise and worship are the diving board for the gifts of the Spirit.

C — Children and Youth

Children and youth built into a generational pipeline of giant killers who carry and release the voice, power, and presence of God wherever they live, go to school, attend church, and encounter unbelievers. We owe the next generation an encounter with God they won't forget.

K — Know God

Know God (discipleship) and make Him known (evangelism) as the God of the impossible, whose love has no limits.

1 Corinthians 10:4

"And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ."
