Bible Centered & Spirit Led
Know Jesus. Know His Word. Follow His Spirit.
We are grounded in God's Word and dependent upon the Holy Spirit to guide, transform, and empower our lives and ministry.
Family Driven
Belong. Grow. Serve.
We believe the church is a family where people are welcomed, connected, discipled, encouraged, equipped, and cared for.
Outreach Minded
Go. Serve. Share. Make Disciples.
We are called beyond the walls of the church to share the Gospel, serve our community, and make disciples locally and around the world.
Statement of Faith
We believe in the one true and living God, the Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer, and Ruler of all things. He is infinite, eternal, unchangeable, and is revealed to us as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God. (2 Timothy 3:16)
We believe that salvation is the gift of God’s grace. It cannot be gained or made more secure by good works, but is freely bestowed upon all who put their faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ at Calvary. (John 1:12; Acts 16:30-33; Romans 10:9-10)
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture and that all who believe on Him are redeemed by His shed blood. We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord and in His ascension into Heaven; He is our High Priest and Advocate. (John 1:1-3; 14; 3:1-7, 16; Hebrews 10:4-14; 1 John 2:2)
We believe that until the return of Christ, it is the Christian’s duty and privilege to seek the fulfillment of Christ’s Great Commission and to minister in His name to a needy world. We are to be instruments of Jesus Christ as the Holy Spirit ministers redemption and reconciliation in the world. (Matthew 25:31-46; 28:18-20)
We believe that Satan is a real being, the author of sin and the reason for the fall of man, and is destined to the judgment of eternal punishment in the lake of fire. (Matthew 4:13; Acts 5:3; Revelation 20:10)
What we Believe
-
We accept and believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. We receive it as the revealed will and way of God for our daily life.
-
We believe in the Godhead, the Holy Trinity, in which there are three Persons of one substance, power, and eternity – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
-
We believe in God the Father Almighty, revealed to mankind as an awesome God of Grace, love, might, mercy, justice and holiness.
-
We believe in Jesus Christ, who is both God and man; His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary and redeeming death, and His physical resurrection.
-
We believe in the Holy Spirit who illuminates the Word of God, reveals Christ to the world and empowers believers to serve God.
-
We believe each person must acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus Christ and be born again before he/she is a true Christian.

We believe that every Christian is expected to live a holy life, one that is truly Christian.
-
We believe in two sacraments, Baptism and Holy Communion. The mode of baptism is left to the conscience of the individual.
