As a church, we are to be salt and light (Matthew 5:13-16) in our city. As light, we are to expose or push darkness back by renewing it through the power of the Gospel. Our power is in Jesus, the Head of the Church (Colossians 1:18), and He takes what is broken and redeems it by meeting people where they are and calling them out of darkness and into His light.
As salt and light, we believe that we are missionaries wherever we are. For us, that's in the heart of McAllen, in the Arts and Historic district, and our surrounding community. Strategically, there are three missional pillars that we have invested in: Family, Education, and The Arts. We have chosen to partner with several organizations in our city to help you easily jump in and serve alongside them as we seek the renewal and restoration of our city together.
FAMILY
The church is a family adopted by the grace of God and yet, there are many who do not know where to turn for healthy familial support, spiritually and physically. We partner with local organizations who have a heart to see families reunited, children fostered or adopted in healthy and loving homes, and infants protected from abortion. Our desire is for families to experience renewal through the words, deeds, and prayers of the local church.
EDUCATION
The majority of our local church body consists of educators from various schools in Hidalgo county. We have teachers, administrators, staff, therapists, and coaches who are missionaries at their schools. We believe the best way to minister to our local schools is by investing in our educators by equipping and empowering them with the gospel and providing tools and events as they meet their co-workers and students where they are and take them where Jesus wants them to be.
THE ARTS
The Arts and Historic district is home to many creatives who love to use their artistic skills to tell a story. We believe that the Bible is the story and glory of God’s redemptive purposes and we wish to communicate it thoughtfully and creatively through the McAllen Art Walk and other artistic opportunities within our church.
