Our Core Values
- Intimacy with God. Our ministries are designed to promote and encourage the development of spiritual habits into people’s daily walk with Christ.
- Intimacy with others. We have deliberately created an atmosphere of community, accountability and Christian love through the use of life groups.
- Relevant ministry. We only devote time and resources to ministries that meet felt needs and assist in fulfilling our church’s mission.
- Prayer. It is the cornerstone of everything we do.
John Bunyan once said, “You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed.”
- Life transformation. We assist our congregation in identifying and pursuing their divine destinies through specialized ministry and on-going training.
- Families. Our ministries are structured to equip and train families to not only survive, but to thrive.
- Leadership. We have developed a leadership culture within our church by encouraging, supporting and recognizing current leaders, while investing and training future leaders to one day take their place.
- Evangelism. We consistently look for ways to serve the unchurched people in our community in an effort to break down barriers, build relational bridges and provide entry points for the love of Christ to enter into their lives.
Our Core Beliefs
- WE BELIEVE…The scriptures are inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.
- WE BELIEVE…There is only one true God revealed in three persons…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).
- WE BELIEVE…In the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s son Jesus was both human and divine.
- WE BELIEVE…though originally good, man willingly fell to sin ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
- WE BELIEVE…Every person can have restored fellowship with God through 'salvation’ (accepting Christ’s offer of forgiveness for sin).
- WE BELIEVE…and practice two ordinances (1) Water baptism by immersion after repenting of one’s sins and receiving Christ’s gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation.
- WE BELIEVE…the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a special experience following salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times.
- WE BELIEVE…Sanctification initially occurs at salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.
- WE BELIEVE…The Church has a mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe ‘the Church’ is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God’s offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.
