Relational

We are made in the image of a relational God and meant to share life with each other through strong relationships within a faith community. Relationships are built over time with intentional effort, selfless love, and sincere respect. We are a church that provides opportunities for people to love, care, and support one another. We hold each other accountable in our quest toward a meaningful, personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

(Genesis 1:26, 1 Samuel 18:3, Acts 2:42-47)

Biblical

The Holy Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God. The Old and New Testament reveal what is necessary for our salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. It is to be received through the Holy Spirit as the trustworthy, reliable, and true rule and guide for faith, teaching, and practice. It is our source of knowledge and understanding about the Triune God, and our foundation for discerning right doctrine and Christian moral practice.

(Psalm 1, Psalm 119, Isaiah 40:8, 2 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 4:12-13)

Prayerful

Prayer is conversation with God. Because Jesus Christ lives, we pray to seek, hear and submit to God’s will as we live faithfully before Him. We pray in all circumstances: privately, in community, for others, and for ourselves. We invite the Holy Spirit to move within and through us, which makes our earnest prayers powerful and effective for the transformation of the world.

(Jeremiah 29:13, Romans 8:26, Philippians 4:6-7, Colossians 1:9-14, James 5:16)

Missional

We are an externally focused church. Inspired by God’s love for us, we strive to provide for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of people. We do this through the power of the Holy Spirit, with the purpose of sharing the gospel to make new disciples of Jesus Christ.

(Genesis 12:2-3,
Matthew 23:11, 28:16-20)

Disciples Making Disciples

 Discipleship is the process of becoming like Jesus Christ. Through the grace of God, guided by the Holy Spirit, we follow the teachings and the example of Jesus Christ as recorded in scripture. Discipleship is a life-long journey that involves meaningful relationships enhanced by honest and loving accountability.

(John 8:32, Luke 9:23, Romans 8:29)
