Faith

It dares you to see things differently.

The Bible alone dictates what we believe and practice. The Word is our standard.

Hebrews 11:6

Love

Whatever it takes.

We passionately love God, love people, and love to serve because everyone matters.

Matthew 5:41

Life

Everyone matters, especially family.

Beyond being human God spoke us into existence by a word – “family”. The impact of family can be the best example to our society that family life was God’s big idea.

Ephesians 1:5

Creativity

Jesus remains but methods change.

To be an effective Church, we must be culturally relevant to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:10

Teamwork

WE is better than ME.

Team collaboration brings better results when reaching people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To accomplish this, our greatest partnership is the Holy Spirit who ignites every spiritual gift that comes from above.

Ecclesiastes 4:9

Jesus

We believe in the virgin birth and that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and died for our sins. His life was the perfect sacrifice for the atonement of our sins.

John 1:1

Acts 2:3-24

God's Word

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God. It is divinely inspired, infallible, and fully authoritative. It is the final source for how to live life and what to believe.

The Trinity

We believe in one eternal God, existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Forgiveness

We believe that we have all sinned and are in need of forgiveness. This forgiveness became available to us through the blood that Jesus shed for us.

Genesis 2:15-17,33:1-24

Romans 3:23

Repentance

We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and to be “born again” we must repent and confess our sins to God, believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior, and in doing so, we receive eternal life.

Healing

We believe that healing is provided by Christ’s redemptive work on the cross.

We Will Rise Again

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost.

Galatians 5:16-25

Hebrews 6:1

Acts 1:8, 2:4, 10:44-48

Water Baptism

We believe that water baptism is an outward symbolic sign and testimony that demonstrates that Jesus died for our sins and was raised by the power of the Holy Spirit. In baptism, we are identifying with His death and resurrection.

Jesus' Return

We believe that we are called to be Jesus’ hands and feet here on earth and that He is coming back for His bride (church).
