Statement of Faith

 

We believe:

  • In one God manifest in three persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

  • In the inspiration of all the Scriptures by the Holy Spirit as originally given, and that they are the final authority for Christian faith and practice.

  • In the incarnation and virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, who by His shed blood, substitutionary death and bodily resurrection paid the redemptive price for all my sins and for the sins of the whole world.

  • In the eternal salvation of all who trust the Lord Jesus Christ and the eternal
    punishment of all who reject Him.

  • In the work of God's Spirit in the new birth, indwelling the believer, causing him
    to grow into the likeness of Christ and filling him with power to live a godly life and to witness for Jesus Christ.

  • In the union of all true believers as one body in Christ.

  • In the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ to the earth bodily to claim His own people, to vindicate Himself and to set all things in order.

Core Values

 

Living in Christ


We declare Christ to be supreme and the only Hope of the world (Colossians 1:13-29; Hebrews 1:3). And—together in Christ—we will live worshipfully in intimacy with Him, imitation of Him, and influence for Him.

Matthew 5:13-16; 28:18-20
John 1:14; 20:21
1 Corinthians 12:27
Galatians 5:6

Reaching Out


We will take Christ's message of grace to the lost and disconnected people in our community and to those parts of the world where the local church is weak or nonexistent, and we will use every available Christ-honoring means to pursue, reach and mature them.

Matthew 28:18-20
Acts 1:8
Luke 15; 19:10
1 Corinthians 9:22

Teaching God's Word


We will teach God's Word with integrity, creativity, and authority so that those without God are drawn to Christ, and believers progressively mature in Him.

2 Timothy 3:16-17; 4:2
Romans 12:1-2

Transforming Lives


We will intentionally embrace the Christ-centered, Spirit-driven, community-oriented process of transformation into the image of Christ.

Galatians 4:19
Ephesians 4:11-16
2 Corinthians 3:18
2 Peter 3:18
