Our Mission
We are a people rescued by God to show others the way to a new life in Christ.
Our Core Values
CONNECT
Our goal is to: connect with Jesus Christ in a growing daily relationship, connect with other believers in biblical fellowship, and connect with our community, helping one another in our walks with Christ, or sharing the gospel with those who have yet to follow Christ.
GROW
We want to grow in our understanding of God and His Word. We want grow in our submission to Christ as the head of the Church. We want to grow in our roles and responsibilities in the kingdom of God. And, we want to grow in maturity in our daily spiritual disciplines.
SERVE
We know that Jesus came to serve, not to be served. In the same way, we aim to identify and develop our God-given gifts and utilize them to serve God and each other. We know that life is not lived from the sidelines, and so we strive to actively serve the Lord as He builds His Kingdom on Earth.
MULTIPLY
We will not be selfish with all that God has given us. He has freely extended salvation, as well as a new life in Him. Our aim is to see others grow in spiritual maturity that will, in turn, help others to do the same. In this way, we hope to not just see individuals added to the body of Christ, but we will see entire families and communities become disciples who make disciples.
Our Beliefs
OUR VIEW OF GOD
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God. (Genesis 1:1,26,27;3:22, Psalm 90:2, Matthew 28:19, I Peter 1:2, and II Corinthians 13:14)
OUR VIEW OF MAN
Man is made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. He is the supreme object of God’s creation. Although man has tremendous potential for good, he is marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin”. This attitude separates man from God. (Genesis 1:27, Psalm 8:3-6, Isaiah 53:6a, Romans 3:23, and Isaiah 59:1-2)
OUR VIEW OF ETERNITY
Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God, through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence. (John 3:16, I John 2:25; 5:11-13, Romans 6:23, and Revelation 20:15)
OUR VIEW OF JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by His death on the cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again to this Earth again to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. (Matthew 1:22-23, Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1-5; 14:10-30, Hebrews 4:14-15, I Corinthians 15:3-4, Romans 1:3-4, Acts 1:9-11, I Timothy 6:14-15, and Titus 2:13)
OUR VIEW OF ETERNAL SECURITY
Because God gives man eternal life through Jesus Christ, the believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives this security. (John 10:29, II Timothy 1:12, Hebrews 7:25; 10:10-14, I Peter 1:3-5)
OUR VIEW OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every believer from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily. (II Corinthians 3:17, John 16:7-13; 14:16-17, Acts 1:8, I Corinthians 2:12; 3:16, Ephesians 1:13, Galatians 5:25, and Ephesians 5:18)
OUR VIEW ON THE BIBLE
The Bible is God’s Word to all men. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error. (II Timothy 3:16-17, II Peter 1:20-21, II Timothy 1:13, Psalm 119:105, 160, Psalm 12:6, and Proverbs 30:5)
