Our core Values
- We believe the Word of God to be the foundational guide for successful living, and that it should be consistently studied by and taught to, all ages with relevance and clarity.
- We believe in valuing people and relationships over programs, recognizing that the souls of people, along with God’s Word, are the only eternal items of this creation.
- We believe worship is a lifestyle, and will encourage it’s expression, both individually and corporately.
- We believe effectiveness in ministry is dependent upon our commitment to individual and corporate prayer.
- We believe in elder-directed leadership, which models humility and servant hood.
- We believe in the development of godly leaders who, by their Christ like character, are able to lead in ministry and equip others for service.
- We believe life change best occurs in small groups and will commit ourselves to providing multiple opportunities for people to gather.
- We believe in ministering to people’s needs by providing opportunities at all stages of life, particularly calling people to honor God’s design for marriage and family.
- We believe that loving relationships should permeate every aspect of church life. Because we are human, this will often require reconciliation and forgiveness, but we believe that Christ’s life and death call us to this kind of life.
- We believe God has equipped every believer with abilities to serve the Body of Christ, and will encourage their use so that believers can be strengthened and built up.
- We believe evangelism is our responsibility, individually and corporately, and will promote outreach both locally and in missions endeavors around the world.
