Core Values

These core values are the foundation on which we operate and conduct ourselves as a church community.

LOVE (His Way) – John 15:12-13; 1 John 4:11,19
We take God’s love to broken and hurting people. We do not sit on the sidelines when we see injustice.

TRUTH (His Truth) – 2 Timothy 3:16; John 17:17.
The Bible is true and relevant today. We teach obedience to the scriptures.

LIFE (His Life) – 1 John 4:9-10; 2 Corinthians 3:18
Jesus transforms lives. We share Jesus with others so their lives can be transformed.

RELATIONSHIPS (His Plan) – Philippians 2:2-5; Romans 13:8
All people have an innate need for community. We were not meant to do life alone.

PEOPLE (Everyone Matters) – Matthew 10:29-31; Revelation 7:9-10; Romans 8:35-39
All people are created in the image of God. Every person matters to us and to God, and is a potential brother or sister in Christ.

What We Believe

The Holy Trinity
There is but one living and true God, the maker and preserver of all things. And in the unity of this Godhead there are three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are one in eternity, deity and purpose; everlasting, of infinite power, wisdom and goodness.

Authority (The Bible)
The Bible is God’s written Word, uniquely inspired by the Holy Spirit. It bears unerring witness to Jesus Christ, the living Word. As attested by the early church and subsequent councils, it is the trustworthy record of God’s revelation, completely truthful in all it affirms. It has been faithfully preserved and proves itself true in human experience.

New Life in Christ
A new life and a right relationship with God are made possible through the redemptive acts of God in Jesus Christ. God, by His Spirit, acts to impart new life and put people into a relationship with Himself as they repent, and their faith responds to His grace. Justification, regeneration and adoption speak significantly to entrance into and continuance in the new life.

Baptism
Water baptism is a sacrament of the church, commanded by our Lord, signifying acceptance of the benefits of the atonement of Jesus Christ to be administered to believers as a declaration of their faith in Jesus Christ as Savior.

Sanctification
Sanctification is that saving work of God beginning with new life in Christ whereby the Holy Spirit renews His people after the likeness of God, changing them through crisis and process, from one degree of glory to another, and conforming them to the image of Christ.

Resurrection
There will be a bodily resurrection from the dead of both the just and the unjust, they that have done good unto the resurrection of life, they that have done evil unto the resurrection of damnation. The resurrected body will be a spiritual body, but the person will be whole and identifiable. The resurrection of Christ is the guarantee of resurrection unto life to those who are in Him.

The Lord’s Supper
The Lord’s Supper is a sacrament of our redemption by Christ’s death. To those who rightly, worthily and with faith receive it, the bread which we break is a partaking of the body of Christ; and likewise the cup of blessing is a partaking of the blood of Christ. The supper is also a sign of the love and unity that Christians have among themselves.
