Lordship of Christ

We believe that Christ is the Cornerstone of the church.  We will submit ourselves and all that we do to His perfect will and authority.

Prayer

We believe God desires for His people to pray and develop an intimate, personal relationship with Him.  From conception, planning, and execution, every ministry and activity of our church will be bathed in passionate prayer.

Great Commission/ Community Service/ Evangelism

We believe that unchurched, lost people matter to God.  We will empower kingdom-minded Great Commission Christians to go with boldness and compassion to share the gospel of Christ with our world.

Family

We recognize the need of every adult and child who represent the family units of our church family and commit to meet the needs of each one.  We believe that God, our heavenly Father, desires familial relationships that develop unity and harmony within the body of Christ.
2 Timothy 1:5

 

Worship

We believe in the importance of personal and corporate worship – to praise and glorify the Lord.  We desire to purposefully engage people in authentic, God-centered worship.  We desire to exalt God through our words and actions as we conduct ourselves in every aspect of our behavior.

Giving

We believe that we, both personally & corporately, are to regularly give God the first and best of what we have been given. We will teach that stewardship is the proper management of all God has given us to expand His kingdom – time, talent and finances.
2 Corinthians 9: 7-8
