beliefs

the bible

​We believe that the Bible is God’s inspired Word. It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:19-21)

the trinity

We believe in one, eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.
(Genesis 1:1, John 14:16-17, Matthew 28:19, John 17:11, 1 John 4:16)

sin

We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.
(Isaiah 59:2, Psalm 51:1-3, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23)

salvation

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, as both God and man, is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life doing only what He saw His Father do. Jesus died on the cross in our place and rose again to prove His victory and give us victory over sin: empowering us, via His grace, for life.
(Isaiah 53:4-6, John 1:1-14, John 14:6, Colossians 2:13-15, 1 Corinthians 15:20)

forgiveness

We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the ‘new birth’ (be born again) we must turn from our sins, confess, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives. In this way we experience life to the fullest!
(John 3:3, Acts 2:38, Romans 10:9-10, Ephesians 2:8-9, 1 John 1:9)

baptisms

We believe that in order to live the holy (set apart) and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptized in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit teaches us and enables us to use spiritual gifts including speaking in tongues.
(Mark 16:16, Matthew 3:11, Hebrews 6:2, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:4, Galatians 5:22-23, John 16:8)

gatherings

We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers to meet regularly together for worship, the preaching of the Word, fellowship, prayer, and the “breaking of bread’.
(Matthew 16:17-19, Acts 2:42, Hebrews 10:25)

communion

We believe in the Table of the Lord, commonly called Communion or the Lord’s Supper, for believers.
(1 Corinthians 11:23-29)

purpose

We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfill our role in the Church, serve the community in which we live, and go into the world preaching the Gospel.
(John 4:23-24, Galatians 6:10, Ephesians 2:10, Mark 16:15)

blessing

We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and whole lives in order to help others more effectively.
(Genesis 3:12, Joshua 1:8, Matthew 8:16-17, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 3 John 1:2, 2 Corinthians 9:11)

giving

​We believe in tithes that belong to the Lord, offerings that are given willingly, and benevolence that is given to the poor. We believe prosperity is the will of God for everyone and is always to be associated with God’s purpose.
(Deuteronomy 8:18, John 3:16, 2 Corinthians 8:9; 9:6-15, Malachi 3:10, Luke 6:38)

eternity

We believe that our eternal destination of either heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.
(John 3:36, John 5:28-29, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, Revelation 20:11-15)

the lord's return

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
(John 14:1-3, Acts 1:11, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

core values

his presence is our priority

Everything we do, we want to do it with Him, not apart from Him. His presence changes us, revitalizes us, and refocuses us to serve Him with our lives.
(Matthew 6:33, Psalm 16:11, Exodus 33:14-15, Psalm 27:4, 2 Corinthians 3:17)

people matter

We love and value every person because each of us matters to the Jesus. In everything we do, we seek to glorify God and edify man. People are Important to us because they’re important to God. We value what God has put in people. We Value how people receive from God.
(John 15:12, Matthew 22:37, Luke 6:27, 1 Timothy 2:4)

be and make disciples

We love to follow Jesus and share the benefits with others. We strongly believe that God’s Kingdom only increases, and we want to co-labor in bearing much fruit both locally and abroad.
(Matthew 28:19, 1 Corinthians 11:1, 2 Timothy 2:2)

serve out of rest

We can be productive and effective on the outside, because we have God’s peace and rest on the inside. Serving out of rest is not inactivity. Rather, it is Spirit-directed activity. Serving out of the overflow of what Jesus has done for us.
(Luke 5:16, John 5:19, Luke 10:38)

excellence

We seek to excel in all that we do because we have the mind and spirit of Christ and we want to represent Him well. We can do more by doing less with focus. Simplicity enables excellence.
(Colossians 3:23, Ephesians 9:10, 1 Thessalonians 4:1, 10, 2 Corinthians 8:7, Matthew 23:37-38)

relevance

We endeavor to be innovative and always at the forefront of all that we do. We are geared to the times but still anchored to the Rock. We will continually increase our capacity by structuring where we want to go, not where we are. We will remain on the edge of momentum and be strategic in our decisions.
(Hebrews 4:12, 1 Corinthians 9:22)

honor

We treat each other with respect and integrity. We freely give honor to those all around us because of the calling, potential, and value God has placed inside of them.
(Psalm 8:5, Peter 2:17)
