Jesus' church is not a "cruise ship" where we simply choose what we prefer from a spiritual buffet, but more like a "battleship" where we live together on mission; growing in Jesus and making Him known.
~ Mike Moran - IPM Transitional Lead Pastor
If we are on a battleship, what is our mission?

To remain in faith that God forgives us because of Christ's death on the cross, to love God and our neighbor and to spread the Good News as we live our lives.

The Great Commission
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

That is pretty close to a quote I heard a long time ago about the church is not a cruise ship but a lifeboat.
