Mission

The Mission of Greater St. Paul Church is not ours – it’s His.  We exist to build people of quality and excellence for KINGDOM IMPACT (Inspiration, Master Plan, Prayer, Attitude, Connection, Teamwork). Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.  And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)   We are committed to fulfilling our mission together through prayer, the help of the Holy Spirit, teaching and preaching the Word of God,  generous donations, partnering with other churches, and old-fashioned hard work as we apply the following principles.

Excellence that Glorifies God

Honoring God with our very best is an essential quality of Christian living.  Through all of our ministry programming and campus facilities, we strive to display excellence in all things to the glory of God.  Great care is taken to ensure a wonderful, worshipful environment in every area of ministry.

Evangelism

GSP exists to reach those in our neighborhoods and around the world who have yet to come to faith in Jesus Christ.  Our church programming, services and ministry models all point toward sharing the message of the Gospel with individuals and families. In every Worship Service, a public invitation is given to allow people to respond to this clear message of hope and eternal promise.  We also provide multiple opportunities to invite unbelieving friends and family members to hear the Gospel.  Every member of GSP is challenged to share their faith daily at work, school, social settings, and other areas.

Engagement

The joyful responsibility of every member of GSP includes fully engaging in the life of the church.  We ask and expect our members to faithfully volunteer in multiple areas of church ministry.  We believe that every member has a financial responsibility to support the work of Christ on earth through the Church.  By participating in each of these areas of service, a member will experience the fullness of this church fellowship.

Equipping

One of the great passions of the GSP Church Family is to intentionally share in the process of Christian growth and development of individuals and families.  GSP offers many outlets for discipleship—personally and corporately.  Classes are offered to strengthen the faith of those who believe, and to encourage those who are on a journey toward faith.

Expansion

GSP is committed to using new and innovative strategies to reach people for Christ. Through the use of today’s technology, we are able to share our faith in new, exciting ways.  Our Sunday Celebration Services are streamed live weekly, and video of these Services and other events are available on demand.  This expands the work of GSP exponentially.

Encouragement

Beyond growth in faith, we believe in the whole development of every individual, and strive to be an encouraging and comforting body of Believers. GSP exists for people…those here and those yet to come.  As we develop our people in Christian living, we desire to see individuals and families strengthened by the love shared among the people of our church.
