MISSION & VISION
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to help people BECOME radical Christ-followers, to BRING the good news about Jesus Christ, and be a BRIDGE of Christ's love to those who don't know Him through service.
​
OUR
VISION
Our vision is to be a disciple-making, missional church committed to planting new churches in the Baltimore-Washington DC metro area and beyond with the goal of reaching unreached people groups with the love of Christ.
OUR VALUES
Everything we do at Cedarbrook is driven by our 7 core values. These core values guide our actions and shape our pursuit of God’s vision for us as we actively engage in His mission.
GOSPEL CENTRALITY The gospel is the reason and fuel for all that we do. It redeems us, giving us a right relationship with God and transforms us into His likeness through the power of the Holy Spirit. As a result, we aim to make the gospel as clear and compelling as possible in everything we do, always pressing forward to bring the gospel to more people.
MISSIONAL God calls us each one of us to be his missionaries, to go where people currently are to love and serve them with the gospel of Christ. Our words and actions reflect the mission of God by expressing the love of God in a culturally relevant way.
WORSHIP LIFESTYLE Our worship of God is expressed through everything we do, and everywhere we go: our Sunday worship services, Life Groups, service, daily devotionals, prayer, but also at work, school, and home. We seek to glorify God worshipping with our whole lives.
DISCIPLE MAKING Jesus commands his disciples to make disciples, teaching them to observe all that he has commanded. Therefore, we are committed to empowering relationships geared toward helping people mature in trusting and following Jesus so that they can continue to develop relationships that disciple others to trust and follow Jesus.
REVITALIZING AND CHURCH PLANTING Just as individual disciples are called to be disciple-makers, churches are called to be church-makers. We do this in two ways: •By revitalizing existing churches. •By planting and helping others plant new gospel-centered churches in areas where the gospel is needed.
SERVANT LEADERSHIP Though Jesus is the very Son of God, he did not come to earth to be served by humankind. Instead, He came to serve and put others above His own interests and needs. As disciples of Jesus, we serve others by building up the body of Christ and our surrounding community using our spiritual gifts, passions, experiences, and abilities.
SPIRITUAL FAMILY Jesus’ disciples are meant to live in fellowship with others. Every disciple of Jesus is part of a larger body called the Church, or family of God. As a spiritual family, we are committed to cultivating strong, healthy relationships within our church and with other churches in our region.
