As a church that is built on
the Bible, we believe in:
GOD
We recognize that there is one and only one living and true God, who exists in three persons — Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit — but without division of nature, essence, or being. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe.
(Deuteronomy 6:4; John 1:1; John 1:14)
FELLOWSHIP/COMMUNITY
We will actively pursue personal, family, and staff relationships characterized by integrity, mutual accountability, mutual serving, mutual encouragement, and mutual honoring. (Romans 12:10; 1 John 4:7-11)
AUTHORITY OF SCRIPTURE
We value Bible-centered preaching and teaching as the foundation for all that we do.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
LIFE TRANSFORMATION
We will provide opportunities for every believer to develop a Christian worldview and thus engage the culture wherein he lives, works, and interacts. (Ephesians 4:13; Colossians 1:28)
WORSHIP
We will seek to praise and worship Him passionately—as individuals, as families, and as a local church.
(John 4:23-24)
EVERY MEMBER MINISTRY
We will develop lay leaders who will function effectively in their respective roles of service and, in turn, train and mentor other believers for ministry. (Ephesians 4:11-12)
PRAYER
We will intentionally seek to set aside specific times for private, family, and corporate prayer.
(Matthew 6:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:17)
PERSONAL EVANGELISM/MISSIONS
We will endeavor to share the message of salvation with all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, or economic status in our local community and throughout the world. (Matthew 28:19-20; 2 Corinthians 5:18-20)
FAMILY
We encourage lifelong commitments to marriage between one man and one woman; we support the ongoing spiritual nurture of the family; and we are committed to honoring the priority of family time through our ministries and activities. (Matthew 19:5-6; Ephesians 5:22-6:4)
STEWARDSHIP
We encourage every member to adopt a lifestyle of stewardship that recognizes God’s ownership of everything and to practice the biblical principle of tithing (giving at least one-tenth of one’s income) to support the work of the church. (1 Corinthians 4:2; 1 Peter 4:10)
