Our Core Values

 

 

We believe all people are loved and valued by God. We teach that everyone is loved.

We are committed to our local community and we seek to be a Godly influence in our community.

We are committed to the teaching and practice of Biblical Truth.

We believe in sharing our blessings with local ministries; state missions; and worldwide missions outreach.

We strive to listen and obey the leading of the Holy Spirit in every element of our lives and church activities.

 

     

     

    We believe that Jesus established the Church to make disciples whose mission is to make other disciples. We do this by being obedient and sharing our gifts and talents.

    We believe God makes grace available to all who call upon His Name. We teach that God provides grace for all manner of life.

    We believe and teach that every person has been invited to journey with God. We encourage members to develop a daily quiet time with God and study the Scriptures daily. We lead by example to love one another the way Christ loved us.

    We believe that the ministries of the church must remain relevant and engaged with the culture of our community to effectively reach the people who live in it.

    We believe in the power of public worship. We worship through music, giving, and listening to the proclamation of the Word. We worship by inviting visitors to join the body of Christ–the church.
