Core beliefs and values

We believe that God, our holy creator, knows us intimately, loves us forever and is always with us. Therefore, we will conduct our lives in the likeliness and principles of a loving God.

We believe that Jesus is God-accessible. His life is our example, His death is our ransom, and His resurrection is our power. Therefore, we will respond to His love through obedient discipleship.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, God's pursuing Spirit, that convicts us of our sin, unites us to one body in Christ, and dwells with us to empower us to bear witness. Therefore, we will receive the Holy Spirit into our hearts to unite and equip us to the glory of God.

We believe in the Bible, the inspired word of God that is the authority for living our Christian life in faith, hope and love. Therefore, we will read the Bible daily and use it as the ultimate guide for conducing our lives.

We believe in the church, a community united by faith, using God's gifts to encourage, serve and give witness to God's glory. Therefore, we will join together to develop a ministry of support, encouragement and outreach.

We believe in worship, a time of celebration, recognizing God's glory, confessing our sins and surrendering our lives. Therefore, we will gather to proclaim God as the center of our lives with thankfulness and humility.

We believe in humanity, uniquely crafted in God's image, scarred by sin, reconciled by Jesus Christ to glorify God in His creation. Therefore, we will respect all of God's people, pray for their salvation, and assist those in need.

We believe in sin and salvation; all are sinners and offered the gift of salvation and eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. Therefore, we will admit we are sinners, accept God's full gift of salvation, and help others enter into a right relationship with God.

We believe in edification, letting all our words and work build up others according to the will of God. Therefore, we will demonstrate the love and kindness of God by using our gifts to pursue peace and teach others for the growth of the Body of Christ.

We believe in prayer and that God hears us as we persistently commune with Him in the powerful name of Jesus. Therefore, we will continually develop and deepen our relationship with God, confident in His purpose.
