In working with and for our community,
we believe in the following

GROW IN FAITH

We recognize that everyone are on a spiritual journey that takes an individual from non-belief to mature faith. We respect wherever you are at in that process and know that God is working in you at every step of your spiritual journey. We value what is going on in the inside more than the outside. We believe spiritual maturity is a lifelong process of experiencing more and more of God through His Word, His Spirit, and his people (the Church).

LOVE GOD

Trusting relationships at church begins with trusting God. We will always endeavor to have trusting relationships with our families, our fellow worshipers, and our pastoral team.
Trusting relationships means being a trustworthy church, practicing transparency in our decisions, in our devotion to God, in being responsible with what we have, in speaking the truth, and that leaders wield power and influence in a responsible manner.

LOVE PEOPLE

We value the lost (non-believers) more than the found in how we do our outreaches, both to congregants and in outreaches to the community. This was clearly the mission of Christ; to “seek and save those who are lost.” We believe this mission statement should shape what we think and what we do.

MAKE DISCIPLES

We value the ministry of every believer.
It is essential that every believer be involved in Ministry or service. Often the measure of a church in the eyes of people is based upon the question 'Is the church doing anything?'. We value those who work hard for His Kingdom.
