Mission Statement
To create disciples, impact the community around us and connect people to biblical community through advancing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We will achieve this goal through the adherence to five non-negotiable truths that will guide all aspects of the Ministry.
A high view of God – To know Him
We exist for God’s glory, and as such, we must know who He is, honor Him and worship Him in all aspects of life, inside and outside of the church.
Absolute Authority of Scripture – How He’s known
In our culture, the Bible is consistently being attacked. We believe that every word that proceeds from the mouth of God is to be cherished, obeyed and taught.
Sound Doctrine – Drawing truth
If we are committed to His word, then we should be faithful to its truth. This comes through the discernment of divine truth and making it clear to the church body.
Personal Holiness – Application of Truth
In a morally corrupt society, we as a church must draw spiritual lines. We feel that believers are called to a certain purity of life that not only glorifies God through our own actions but also in the conduct that others may observe in us.
Spiritual Authority – Oversight to the flock
Christ is the head of the church, and He has mediated rule through Godly Elders to shepherd, encourage, equip, love and correct those under their care.
