It is our authority for faith (what we believe), and life (how we are to live).

It is the foundation and center of all our ministries.

It is to be known, treasured, taught and applied.

It is only Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection that can give new life.

It is faith in this gospel that makes us born again and therefore is the core of the Christian life.

It saves from the penalty of sin, empowers ongoing transformation to live the Christian life, and establishes relationship with God forever.

It is the greatest message that anyone can hear, therefore we seek to tell it often and tell it well in the hope that all may have peace with God.

Because people are made in the image of God, life is sacred.

Because God loves people in their brokenness we seek to show compassion to them.

Because people are born with a sinful nature and under God’s wrath; and because God loves them and wants them to be saved; we will seek to love them by sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with them, and help them to grow in Christ-likeness.

Because sin destroys people, we will seek to rescue people and free them through Jesus Christ.

Jesus promised to “build His church”, therefore we believe the church is God’s chosen vehicle for growing believers and ministering to the world.

We urge those in our church family to be committed in attendance, prayer, financial support, and service.

We desire to be a positive reflection of God to the world around us by how we live and love each other.

Since the local church is not a building or a worship service, but the people of God, we are His church both when we are gathered and when we are scattered.

We will fellowship with all who are part of His true Church.

Authenticity in our walk with God means that a person’s profession and practice of the Christian faith is genuine.

An authentic relationship with God is rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ alone.

Authenticity is not produced in our own strength but through yielding to the empowerment of the Holy Spirit as we walk by faith.

An authentic relationship with God will be evidenced by a hunger for the truth of God’s word; submission to obey His standards of holiness; faithfulness of service in His name; and heartfelt love for the Lord in worship and personal devotion.

We believe we need our fellow believers to encourage us in this pursuit.

We humbly acknowledge that none of us has arrived to be all that God would want us to be.

We are on a journey together to grow in our faith and to be more Christ-like. We know this is a life-long pursuit.

We encourage our church family to be involved in Sunday morning classes for all ages coupled with their time of family worship.

We encourage people to be in a Life Group and/or a Prayer Group during the week.

Becoming followers of Jesus Christ means we not only take on His character, but we join His purpose to make disciples of all the nations.

God loves the world and so do we. Therefore, we are committed to sacrificially support and strategically participate in reaching the world for Jesus Christ.
