We value spiritual growth. Numerical growth is not necessarily a sign of a successful church. Spiritual growth is. The Bible teaches that maturity is the goal of ministry (Colossians 1:28,29; Hebrews 5:12-14; Ephesians 4:11-16). Therefore, we desire to be a church that encourages Christians to grow in Christlikeness—the very definition of maturity. (Luke 6:40; Ephesians 5:1, 2, 22-25; Philippians 2:5-8)
