We VALUE . . .

The Word

We believe the Bible is God’s Word. The Bible is our primary text and final authority for our faith and practice. We believe that through the Bible’s message, we come to know Jesus and grow in him. We desire to faithfully teach the Bible in all settings and groups inside and outside the church.

Prayer

We confess that God desires a relationship with his people. Prayer is one way in which we communicate with God. Therefore, we value frequent, regular, honest corporate and individual prayer.

Worship

Christ is better known and made known through gospel-centered worship.  We hold that God is the only one worthy of our praise; therefore, we seek to praise God alone, with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.  Both corporate and individual worship is how we express our love for our Savior. 

Gospel Redemption

While we were God’s enemies, he sent his one and only son to die the death we deserve so we could be given life with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit now and for eternity. Furthermore, when Christ rose again on the third day, he defeated sin and death, thus making the way for his people to be redeemed and brought into the glorious new birth made possible only by the blood of Jesus. To all who profess Jesus as Lord and believe he is who he says he is, adoption as a child of God is open. Since God is so loving and gracious as to do such a thing for us sinners, we greatly value and celebrate witnessing broken lives made new by the power of the gospel.

Spiritual TRANSFORMATION

As we seek to know God better and love God more we will grow as his disciples.  We will be conformed more and more to the mind and will of God and the image of Christ. Each of us is on a growth journey as a disciple of Jesus that does not end until our coming glorification in the Lord.  Therefore, we continue to move forward in this journey together as a church and encourage both believers and the lost to do the same.
