Our Values
Rooted in Scripture – Recognizing that all we do and believe comes out of the authority of the Bible. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Earnestly Seeking God – Training and practicing spiritual disciplines to draw us into a deeper relationship with the Lord. Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually! 1 Chronicles 16:11
Natural Outreach – Equipping all to reach those who need to know Jesus as their Savior.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20
Engaging Relationships – Striving to be authentic in our relationships with others; loving according to biblical standards. A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. John 13:34
Wholehearted Generosity – Seeking to be generous as a reflection of the heart of God.
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 1 Corinthians 9:6-8
Equipped for Ministry – Engaging and training in ministry by using our spiritual gifts.
And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ… Ephesians 4:11-13
Diverse Unity – Celebrating our differences in background, culture, personality, and gifts as we work towards unity by being bound to God and to one another by the gospel. I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. John 17:20-21
What Do We Believe?
We believe in one eternal God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), Creator and Ruler of all. Therefore, we will submit, as individuals and as a community, to God’s authority in all aspects of our lives.
We believe God created everything in perfect harmony, but humanity’s sin brought discord into the world and has broken our relationship with God. Therefore, we know we are sinful and fall short of God’s original design.
We believe God the Father is love, is just, and pursues a restored relationship with all people. Therefore, we will love, pursue justice and seek reconciliation.
We believe Jesus, God’s Son, through his life, death and resurrection provides forgiveness of our sins and restores people to the Father. Therefore, with grateful hearts, we will follow Jesus and share this good news with the world.
We believe the Holy Spirit points people to Jesus, empowering His followers to participate in God’s restoring work. Therefore, we will live courageous lives of surrender and dependence on the Holy Spirit’s power to transform lives and communities.
We believe the Bible, the true and reliable Word of God, reveals who God is, who we are, and His plan for life together. Therefore, we will study, teach and obey God’s Word.
We believe the church is a diverse community gathered by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live like Jesus, loving God and loving others. Therefore, we will be a multicultural, multigenerational community worshipping God and serving others.
We believe worship is the heart-felt response of God’s people to who He is and what He has done. Therefore, we will give Him praise in all circumstances and live lives that honor Him in all we say and do.
We believe prayer is an intimate and powerful encounter with God, in which we talk about all things, humbly yielding to His will. Therefore, we will pray regularly and often about all things.
