Gospel Focus
We believe, proclaim, and cherish the Gospel because it is God's eternal plan to rescue sinners from the eternal punishment we deserve. This glorious Gospel is the power of God for salvation of all who believe.
"For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures." 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
Authentic Discipleship
We seek to have relationships centered on Christ with the purpose of Christian maturity. We will share our lives with one another and grow in love for one another.
“So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the Gospel of God but also our very selves, because you had become very dear to us.” 1 Thessalonians 2:8
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
Passionate worship
We are a community that worships in Spirit and truth, freely expressing our love for God together. We seek to give our heart, soul, mind, and strength to glorify the Savior who gave His life for us.
“But an hour is coming, and now is here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in truth. Yes, the Father wants such people to worship Him.” John 4:23
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” Colossians 3:16
Family Culture
We believe the church is a family, operating as brothers and sisters in Christ. We will love and forgive one another and generously share our lives and resources with one another.
“So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In Him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.” Ephesians 2:19-22
“If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.” 1 Corinthians 12:26
Shared Leadership
We will seek to lead our congregation and ministries through a shared leadership model. We see that the New Testament set an example of a plurality of leaders that mutually depend upon one another in decision making while working together as a team for the sake of the Gospel.
“Now we ask you, brothers, to give recognition to those who labor among you and lead you in the Lord and admonish you, and to regard them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.” 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 (emphasis added)
“Then, the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, decided to select men who were among them and to send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas…” Acts 15:22
Missionally Engaged
We will be committed to the spreading of the Gospel, making disciples, multiplying churches, and building God’s kingdom both locally and globally. We will use our time, talents, and resources to accomplish these goals.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8
“But how can they call on Him they have not believed in? And how can they believe without hearing about Him? And how can they hear without a preacher? And how can they preach unless they are sent?” Romans 10:14-15
