.                                   Our Vision Statement:

The Vision of “The Little Church On the Hill” , a covenant “Body of Christ”, is to
make disciples for the future church by reaching out to children of Licking, Franklin
and Bowling Green Townships.

Through our commitment to God, we will provide diverse bridge-building events and
creative spiritual growth opportunities so these children may come to the “Saving
Knowledge of Jesus Christ,” be baptized and confirmed in the church for the
community.

The Christ said in Matthew 7:20,  "
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."

We are a church that has a heart for Christ and all of God's creation.
We live out our vision and mission to the world in the following actions.
