Our Beliefs

 

Core Values

 

Biblical Literacy

We seek to see every believer passionate about studying, learning, and applying the scriptures. When we are biblically literate, we are given the wisdom, guidance, and thinking for life circumstances. Biblical literacy provokes deep thought and insightful education on any doctrine that contradicts the gospel.

2nd Timothy 2:15, Ezra 7:10, Neh 8:8

Community

We highly value community. We desire to gather continually, share resources generously, and draw unbelievers to the living truth. We seek opportunities to get to know our neighbors, co-workers, and the people we frequently encounter in the community, while also enjoying the fellowship of those that know the Lord.

Acts 2:42-47, Heb 10:24-25

Holistic Care

We believe in caring for the WHOLE person with Christ as the foundation of wholeness. We desire to take action to meet the spiritual, mental, and physical needs of people in our community, while also promoting active lifestyles to positively impact the lives of others.

Mark 6:30-44

Identity

We appreciate the identity of the church as a whole, and the individuality of every member. We celebrate and welcome everyone’s gifts as they utilize them for the good of the body. There is an appreciation for all walks of life, various age demographics, forms of expressive worship etc. We are not Pastor-centric, but a Christo-centric. Who we are and what we do is centered on Christ Jesus.

1 Corinthians 12:27, 14:26, 1 Pet 2:4-10

Multiplication

We develop disciples who can be deployed and duplicated. This is accomplished through our strong focus on disciple-making discipleship. We assist with this by assessing, equipping, empowering, and deploying people to confidently move with impact for Christ. Our desire is to display the love of Jesus by engaging our neighborhoods, building relationships, and spending time with those who live in our community

Acts 1:8

Doctrinal Statement

  • There is one God, who is infinitely perfect, listing in three persons : Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

  • Jesus Christ is the true God and the true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shedblood. He arose from the dead according to the scriptures. He is now at the right hand of majesty on high as our great high priest. He will come again to establish his kingdom, righteousness and peace.

  • The Holy Spirit is a divine person, sent to indwell, guide, teach, empower the believer, and convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.

  • The Old and New Testaments, consisting of 66 books, are inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice.

  • Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God: he fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The portion of the unrepentant and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment; and that of the believer, in everlasting joy and bliss.

  • Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men; and those who repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God.

  • There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life; for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.

  • The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be sudden, personal, and visible. This is the believer’s blessed hope and is a vital truth which calls us to holy living, intentional witness and faithful service.
