Values
We are about building His Kingdom, not our kingdom.
We always ask, “What does the Bible say?”
We pray as if everything depends upon God and work as if everything depends upon us.
We focus on church health, which fosters church growth.
We reach people no one is reaching by doing things no one is doing.
We love people more than programs and give up things we love for things we love even more.
We are worship participants, not spectators and church contributors, not consumers.
We give our best for God, because He gave His best for us.
We act our wage by giving first, saving second and living on the rest.
We keep it real!
We are a church for our community not just in our community.

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:25-38; Romans 9:5; Titus 2:13, John 1.
Holy Spirit

Man
We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death which is separation from God.
