about REALife

Our Mission:
     We exist as a local church to: "Be Disciples.... Make Disciples."


Our Vision Statement:
     "Our vision is to glorify God by changing the lives of those around us by emmulation right Relationships, pursuing Excellence, providing  Accountability, and becoming servant Leaders."


Our Name:
      A "name" is a word or words by which a person or thing is recognized; a reputation.  Not only does a name signify who we are, but also, how we are known, and who we will become.  We call ourselves "REALife Ministries" because we believe that "real life" is what God offers us and what we have to offer others.  To us as a local church our name is of great significance. The word "REAL" is an acronym for Relationships, Excellence, Accountability, and Leadership.  It is our desire to become authentically Christian. These four words provide for us the means of accomplishing our Mission.  Eternal and abundant "Life" is what God has given us, through His Son, to all who will submit, accept, and believe in Him.  Through the indwelling and empowerment of His Spirit we administer the truth and reality of this "Life" to others.  Therfore, "REAL" is who we are (and who we desire to be), "Life" is what we have in Christ, and "Ministries" is what we do. 


Core Values:
Our mission to "be disciples;make disciples", which fulfills God's vision with us to "exist to glorify Him", will be accomplished through the means of our commitment to these four core values:
 
We commit to...
Relationship
To be in "right" relationship with God and with our fellow man, which is the ultimate purpose for "why" we were created by God.
Excellence
To pursue a life of "true" holiness, which goes beyond mere actions and appearance to our intentions and motives.
Accountability
To provide accountability and live accountable to God and our brethren, which is part of the means by which "holiness" and "right" relationship may be lived out.
Leadership
To serve others as they follow us whom follow Christ in Word and Work.
