Why Are We Here?

We exist to glorify God by pointing people to Jesus through the preaching of the gospel, growing in the gospel as we live in multiethnic multigenerational community, and living the gospel by being on mission together in loving service to the world around us. You can sum up this statement with three words: Jesus, Community, and Mission. This is why Relevant Life Church exists.

Our vision and mission flow from the Great Commission of Jesus. Matthew 28:18-20 says, “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’”

Jesus told the disciples in Acts 1:8, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

This is why we are here. We are here to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom of God and make disciples. The local church is made up of disciples of Jesus who are committed to obeying the command of Jesus to make disciples of Jesus. Every local body of believers is a kingdom outpost in the world established to advance God’s kingdom in the earth.

God's mission is our mission!
