OUR CORE VALUES
The Lordship of Christ
We believe Jesus is the Lord of the church and that all we do is under His Lordship and for His glory.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit who indwells, empowers, leads and guides all that we do as a church.
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the perfectly inspired written Word of God and the sole and sufficient source of authority for all we believe and all we do.
People
We believe people are the crown of God's creation, loved by him, and are to be appreciated for their inherent worth.
Grace
We believe the church is a place of grace. Grace provides for our salvation, helps us to grow as Christians, and will usher us into heaven one day.
Prayer
We believe prayer offers us unlimited access to God and it is the fuel that energizes the life of the believer and the church.
Fellowship
We believe the fellowship of God's people, in harmony and unity, is what encourages the congregation and fosters a healthy climate for growth in the church. God's command for us to "love one another" is best experienced in the loving fellowship of the church.
Worship
We believe authentic, regular, and relevant encounters with God in worship are the foundation and power behind everything we do as believers and a church.
Family
We believe the family illustrates God's love and watch care over us. The family is God's design for the backbone of our culture and future of our church.
