At The Mission, we say "come as you are" because we're not interested in people pretending to be something they're not. Instead, we want you to "come as you are" because that's how we believe God takes us—"as is." From there, we'll help each other grow to be all God intended us to be. The essence of the church is that it is a community of people empowered by God on a mission striving to establish the reign of God on this earth. We must not be confused with local businesses in our area whose goal is to meet the needs of individual consumers. We do not exist to market a product or provide a service amidst a free market. Instead, our efforts focus on engaging the culture in which we live and transforming it by lives incarnating the person of Jesus Christ.
