our Mission, vision &  values

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
John 10:10

~ Our founding verse ~

Our Mission

To bring hope and new life to all.

That's our way of expressing the mission that Christ gave His Church.
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
Matthew 28:19-20

Our Vision

As a community of authentic believers led by the Holy Spirit,
we long to see our city embrace and follow Jesus,
to see broken lives and families restored;  
to help God's people multiply in love and good deeds,
for all to discover the abundant and satisfying life
Jesus has in mind for them.

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
    because he has anointed me
    to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
    and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” 
Luke 4:18-19

These four guiding Values underlay everything we do at Lifehouse.

KNOW

HAVING A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE.

John 17:3
Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

1 Corinthians 8:3
But the man who loves God is known by God.

Because of this, Lifehouse is committed to:
  • Practical teaching
  • Passionate worship
  • Preaching the Good News  

GROW

ENGAGING IN A LIFE-LONG PROCESS OF SURRENDERING TO THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE AUTHORITY OF THE BIBLE IS ESSENTIAL TO LIVING.
Colossians 1:10
And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,

John 15:8
This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

Because of this, Lifehouse is committed to:
  • Life-long Discipleship
  • Discovering personal purpose
  • Developing gifts & talents

LIVE

SHARING OUR JOURNEY TOGETHER THROUGH AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIPS IN CHRIST-CENTERED COMMUNITY IS HOW WE SHOULD LIVE.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

Hebrews 10:24-25
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.

Because of this, Lifehouse is committed to: 
  • Authentic living 
  • Accountable relationships
  • Active life-group involvement

GIVE

SERVING OTHERS SELFLESSLY IS AN OUTWARD EXPRESSION OF THE INWARD WORK OF GOD IN OUR LIVES.

2 Corinthians 8:7
But just as you excel in everything-in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us-see that you also excel in this grace of giving.

Matthew 20:28
Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Because of this, Lifehouse is committed to:
  • Freely giving what God has given
  • Fostering lifestyles of outreach 
  • Following Christ's example
