Our Purpose

Our purpose is wrapped up in the simple phrase "Following Jesus," and our crest is designed to show what that means:

 

The Cross brings to mind Jesus Christ, our Leader. On the cross He was crowned as our King. He is our Teacher, our Leader, our Champion -- and of course, the focus of our attention.

 

The Bible says that when we fix our gaze with love and faith upon Jesus, we see a mirror reflecting the radiant beauty of God. And as we do this, "we are transfigured..., our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him" (2 Corinthians 3:18, MSG)
