CHRIST AS OUR HEAD - We acknowledge Jesus Christ as the head of our church and willingly submit ourselves to His will. “And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.” Ephesians 1:22-23
BIBLE CENTERED TEACHING - We strive to teach and preach God’s word with integrity and authority so people can grow and mature spiritually. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." Tim. 3:16
PRAYER - We depend on private as well as corporate prayer to direct us in the planning and execution of all ministries and functions of the church. “But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.” Acts 6:4
EVANGELISM - We believe Jesus Christ came to “seek and save the lost.” We are responsible to pursue, win, and disciple the unchurched. “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10
FAMILY - We believe there is nothing more important than strong families. Therefore, we strive to give biblical instruction that serves as a wall of protection that will keep the family unit together. “He and all his family were devout and God-fearing…and prayed to God regularly.” Acts 10:2
PRAISE & WORSHIP - We believe in giving all glory and honor to the Lord Jesus Christ through the celebration of praise and worship. We praise Him for what he has done and we worship Him for who He is. “Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs… Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.” Psalm 100:2,4
GODLY LEADERSHIP - We believe everything rises and falls with leadership. Therefore, we strive diligently to live godly and holy in this present world. We attempt to maintain a leadership team that others can trust and follow, resulting in spiritual growth. This is accomplished through accountability and communication. “Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God…” 2 Peter 3:11-12
MINISTRY EXCELLENCE - Since God gave His best (Himself), we seek to honor Him by maintaining a high standard of excellence in all our ministries and activities. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Col. 3:23:24
GOD'S GRACE & MERCY - We encourage one another to serve Jesus Christ through hearts of love and gratitude, not guilt and condemnation. “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, (5) made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved.” Ephesians 2:4-5
WORLD MISSIONS - We believe in taking the gospel to the whole world. Where we cannot go physically we can financially. We are committed to supporting both home missions and foreign missions as God enables us to do so. “For even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid again and again when I was in need." Phil. 4:16
