core values

Biblical. Missional. Spirit-Filled. Relational. Family Focused.

Biblical

We believe the Scripture is to be our guide for faith and practice.

2 Timothy 3:16  -  All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.

We strive to be a people of the Word:

  • People who know the Word.
  • People who believe the Word.
  • People who live out and obey the Word.
  • People who share the Word.

Missional

We believe that God has called every believer to go and make disciples.

Matthew 28:19-20  -  "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."

We strive to be a people who take the Gospel to every corner of the world through local evangelism and discipleship, and by supporting world missions.

Spirit-Filled

We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit are available and to be pursued by the Church today.

Acts 2:38-39  -  And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.

We are a people who desire the fullness of the Holy Spirit and want to experience everything that God has for us. 

Relational

We are convinced that discipleship happens through relationship. This means that:

  • We grow in the faith through relationships that challenge and encourage us.
  • It is primarily people that God uses to build others up—not programs.
  • God’s love and truth are seen and felt more clearly through a healthy community of believers.

Proverbs 27:17  -  As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

We are striving to connect people together for the ultimate purpose of growing together in our faith and obedience to the Lord!

Family-Focused

The family unit is God’s first created institution. Families matter to God, and so they matter to us.

We place value in and are intentional about reaching and ministering to the whole family.

This is why we have kids ministries, student ministries, and marriage ministries: we are striving to build up parents and children alike.
