Mission
Our mission at Vertical Church is clear and resolute: “to help the world set its sights on things above.” We are passionately dedicated to guiding individuals in redirecting their focus from the transient concerns of this earthly existence to the eternal truths and promises found in a relationship with God.
Through heartfelt worship, authentic community, and biblically grounded teaching, we strive to inspire and equip individuals to prioritize their spiritual journey and seek a deeper connection with the divine. Our aim is to foster an environment where lives are transformed, hearts are stirred, and souls are uplifted.
Values
At Vertical Church, we hold dear nine core values that shape our identity and guide our actions:
Prayer is vital in everything we do, and it changes things: We believe in the essential role of prayer in every aspect of our church life. Prayer is our direct line of communication with God, and we recognize its transformative power to bring about change.
Worship is done with excellence, reverently, and joyfully: We approach worship with a commitment to excellence, showing reverence and joy in our expressions of adoration to God.
We value holiness internally and externally: We cherish the pursuit of holiness, both in our inner lives and in how we live out our faith externally. We strive to align our thoughts, attitudes, and actions with God's standard of righteousness.
The Bible is our final authority in all matters: We regard the Bible as the ultimate source of truth and wisdom. It guides our beliefs, decisions, and actions, serving as our unerring foundation.
We are a "small group" church: We emphasize the significance of intimate and authentic community through small groups. These gatherings foster connection, discipleship, and mutual support among our church members.
Serving is the responsibility of all and it is done joyfully: We believe that every individual has a role to play in serving others, and we approach it with joy and willingness. We embrace opportunities to selflessly meet the needs of others, reflecting Christ's love.
The rescue of lost souls is our primary mission: We prioritize sharing the message of salvation with those who are far from God. Our primary mission is to bring hope and invite individuals into a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Hospitality is in our DNA: We have a natural inclination to extend hospitality to others. We warmly welcome and embrace everyone who enters our church, creating an atmosphere of acceptance, love, and genuine care.
We are radically generous: Our hearts are characterized by a radical generosity that mirrors God's abundant provision. We sacrificially give our time, resources, and love to bless others and make a positive impact in our community and beyond.
These values form the foundation of who we are as Vertical Church, shaping our beliefs, practices, and the way we engage with God and others.
