Our Mission

To lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

Our Values

As a response to our faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and his vision for what the local church should be, we affirm the following core values:

The pursuit of full devotion to Christ and His cause should be normal for every believer.
(Philippians 2:5-11, Romans 12:1-2, 2 Corinthians 8:7)

Prayer should permeate every aspect of our lives in the church and in the world.
(Luke 5:16, Ephesians 3:12, 6:18, Hebrews 11:6, James 5:13-15)

Lost people matter to God, and therefore, must matter to the church.
(Luke 5:30-32, Luke 15, Matthew 18:14, 2 Peter 3:9)

Our time and resources must flow beyond ourselves to those in need.
(Matthew 25:31-46, James 2:14-18, 2 Corinthians 8:13-14, Psalm 41:1)

Anointed teaching of God's Word is the catalyst for transformation in individual lives and in the church.
(Romans 12:7, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, James 1:23-25)

The church should be culturally relevant, while remaining biblically pure.
(1 Corinthians 9:19-23, Matthew 9:14-17)

Christ-followers should be authentic and desire continuous growth.
(Hebrews 12:1, Philippians 1:6, 3:12-14, Colossians 2:6-7, 2 Peter 3:18)

We should operate as a unified community of servants developing and using their spiritual gifts.
(1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12, 1 Peter 4:10)

A climate of loving relationships should be nurtured at all times.
(1 Corinthians 1:3, John 13: 34-35, 1 John 2:10, Ephesians 4:2,
1 Peter 4:8)

Life-change happens best in purposeful small group settings.
(Hebrews 10:25, Acts 2: 44-47, Luke 6:12-16, Acts 20:20)

Churches should be led by people with leadership gifts.
(Romans 12:8, Acts 6:1-7, Exodus 18:13-27, Jeremiah 3:15)

Excellence honors God and inspires people.
(Colossians 3:17, Philippians 4:8, Psalm 33:3, Exodus 35:10,
Proverbs 27:17, Malachi 1:6-14)
