Our Mission
The Church On The Way exists as a local congregation to witness to the world of God’s love as revealed in His Son Jesus Christ, our crucified, risen, exalted and soon-returning King; and we live to serve our community in His same love and power, knowing He is “the same yesterday, today and forever” (Heb. 13:8).
Our Vision
We seek to teach the Word of God and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, shaping and equipping our church family so that believers will be nourished and empowered to fulfill their God-ordained, created purpose and ministry. We seek to prepare people who care for one another, and who sensitively reach to our City and our World that all may be saved, being brought to a living faith in Christ as Savior and Lord.
Our Values
Our mission is accomplished through keeping focus on 12 core values.
1. Worship as Priority (Ps. 5:7-8, 11-12; 22:3; 34:1-3; 100:4; Rom. 12:1; Heb. 13:15)
The worship of God is our primary ministry, pursued with biblically motivated zeal and offered in reverence with humility, childlikeness and joyfulness.

2. God’s Word as Authority (Deut. 4:2; Ps. 19:7; Prv. 30:6; Mt. 5:18; Rom. 7:12; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pt. 1:21; Heb. 4:12; Jas. 1:22-25; Rev. 22:18-19)
The Word of God is our final authority and source of life-guidance, calling us to a faith-filled, obedient, godly life-style.

3. God’s Love Bringing Wholeness (Ex. 15:25-26; 23:25 Ps. 34:19, 103:2-3; Is. 53:3; Mal. 4:2; Rom. 8:1-2; Eph. 2:14; 2 Tim. 1:7; Jas. 5:13-16)
A Holy Spirit-begotten climate of God’s love is that atmosphere which most readily begets living hope, fosters true health, and produces practical holiness, as Jesus’ Cross points us to a path of discipleship and a life free of condemnation, at rest in God’s grace.

The biblically modeled family is God’s foundational social and governmental unit and is to be nourished, served, and preserved as such. Fundamental to this value is the sanctity of marriage, biblical sexuality, and human life.

The unity of the Church—Christ's global, many-faceted Body—is to be earnestly sought and unselfishly served, that this value for which Jesus prayed may find its answer in our attitudes and commitments.

To live is to give—in tithes, offerings, and all life’s resources. We steward what we have been given of time, gifts, and finances, seeing these as being from God’s hand, yet as ours to obediently distribute.
