Our Purposes
Our purposes come straight from scripture. They’re the tools we use to guide our decisions, measure our effectiveness, and stay focused on what matters most— fulfilling our mission of People Becoming the Church!
(Romans 12:1-2)
Everyone worships always— whether we realize it or not. We get to choose what we worship, not if we worship. The options are endless—power, approval, money, intellect, appearance. At Canvas Church, we believe one of our core purposes is to worship God.
(Ephesians 4:11-16)
Our lives are never static—we are constantly being shaped into the likeness of something. God’s desire is for us to be transformed into the likeness of His Son, Jesus. At Canvas Church, we believe one of our core purposes is to grow in our faith.
(Proverbs 27:17)
Community is more than just a desire; it’s central to our purpose. God created us to be interdependent— fundamentally, we are relational beings. At Canvas Church, we believe one of our core purposes is to connect in community.
(Matthew 25:31-46)
Jesus taught us to pray, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” While we await His return, it’s our calling to help bring heaven to earth by doing our part to heal a broken world. At Canvas Church, we believe one of our core purposes is to serve our world.
(Matthew 28:18-20)
We gather to scatter. Jesus’ infinitely scalable mission strategy was to commission and empower his followers to share the good news of the love, forgiveness, hope and grace found only in him. At Canvas Church, we believe one of our core purposes is to share the gospel.
