Beliefs are not worth much unless they are translated into actions. Based on what the Bible teaches, we as a church are committed to exhibiting these traits in our lives, as individuals and as a church body.
Truth
We hold to the truth of God’s Word, the Bible, and we submit our lives to the instructions of His Word and the leading of His Spirit as the basis for all we believe.
“The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from God and is useful to teach us what is true and make us realize what is wrong in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us to do what is right.” 2 Timothy 3:16 (NLT)

Love
We will encourage, care for, and show genuine love to each other and our community.
“By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35
“By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35
Integrity
You can trust us, from the way we care for and teach your children to the way we manage the money you give.

“I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity.” 1 Chronicles 29 :17

Worship
We are on a journey to know God. Our worship will strive to lead seekers into His presence and to testify to His faithfulness.
“Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people” Psalm 100:2,3

Relevance
We believe God speaks to us today through His Word and His Spirit to guide us. We commit to teaching people how Jesus Christ can make a difference in their life today.
[Jesus said] “I am the Vine, you are the branches. If you abide in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; but apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5

Service
We believe it is the privilege and responsibility of every believer to serve Jesus Christ and other people. We will encourage and assist all to discover and develop their gifts, abilities, and areas of passion for ministry.
“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10
“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10
Prayer
We believe God answers prayer. We will strive to be people of prayer, both individually and as a church, knowing that God hears us and promises to answer.
“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Mark 11:24
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6

Giving
We believe that everything we have belongs to God and that we should diligently manage the resources he has given us. We recognize giving 10% of our income as a Biblical starting point of giving back to God out of gratitude and love.

Sharing
We believe that all Christians are called to share the Good News of Christ’s love to those around them; in their home, at work, and in their network of relationships.
“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” 1 Peter 3:15

We will strive to be real and genuine.
