Five Purposes
We believe God has called us to obey his calling and fulfill our mission by building our church around five purposes. Each of these covers a vital New Testament function that is essential for achieving a healthy, growth-producing balance. Each purpose is supported by one of our five design teams, with a sixth design team dedicated to Children & Youth.
- Worship—Making visible

heart of the community at Church of the Apostles is life-changing
worship. Our worship is liturgically structured, Spirit-led,
and biblically based.

The congregation sees itself as extended family offering
love, acceptance, and hope with everyone.

lives.

We encourage our congregation’s youngest participants to join us in all five purposes of our congregation—to know Jesus, to grow in Jesus, to serve Jesus and others, and to share Jesus with those around them.
