Wagon Ministry Core Values

 

Mission Statement

          The Wagon Ministry is a local church ministry focused on building intentional, Christ-centered relationships with individuals for the purpose of expressing the love of Jesus to those who may not know Him through loving acts of service and life-skills mentoring.  Our intention is to accomplish this by making our own journeys of faith available to them as examples of inspiration and hope for a better, more complete life with Christ.  Finally, our desire is to equip and empower these individuals with the tools they need to live healthy lives. 

Vision Statement

          We are called to live out our faith in Christ.  We intend to embrace Christ’s call for believers to be in Kingdom ministry by nurturing relationships with these individuals for the purpose of earning their trust and the right to talk to them about Jesus Christ.
