The Bible is the word of God and is the absolute authority. We value Christ-followers gathering for life-changing experiences. And We value authentic community with life-long spiritual growth.
Our Values
The Bible
We value the Bible as God’s Word and as the absolute authority for our lives.
“When I called, you answered me; you greatly emboldened me.”
Psalm 138:3 NIV
The Gospel
We value the Gospel and are committed to faithfully sharing it so it may be received by unbelievers and rejoiced in by believers.
“Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word, I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures”
1 Corinthians 15: 1-4 NIV
Worship
We value Christ-followers gathering for life-changing, whole-hearted, God-focused worship with an eye toward evangelism.
“He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him.”
Psalm 40:3 NIV
Community
We value authentic community and believe life change happens best in small groups of people functioning biblically.
“Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.”
1Peter 1:22 NIV
Growth
We value life-long spiritual growth resulting in individuals becoming increasingly devoted followers of Christ.
“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.”
Col 1:28-29 NIV
Service
We value the church functioning as a unified community of serving contributors not merely spiritual consumers.
“Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people...”
Eph 6:7 NIV
