Values 

SPIRITUALLY ENGAGED – WALKING WITH JESUS We live each moment with the awareness that we are in God’s presence. Our life can be fully devoted to Jesus by loving, talking, listening, reading scripture, journaling, and obeying his voice constantly. ​ PASSIONATE PURPOSE – MAKING DISCIPLES The highest honor is becoming friends with someone far from God and helping them become a life long follower of Christ Jesus who helps someone else do the same. Every person matters to God. Therefore, we show God’s love and concern to everyone at every opportunity. ​ RELATIONALLY CONNECTED – RESOLVING CONFLICT BIBLICALLY We strive to cultivate relationships built on love – love that provides encouragement, honesty, approachability, and accountability. We also seek and accept the truth spoken to us in love by resolving conflict biblically. ​ PARTICIPATION ENCOURAGED -CREATIVITY EMBRACED It is wrong for church to be boring so we will creatively use media and other relevant tools to encourage participant interaction. ​ ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS EMBRACED – REACHING BEYOND OURSELVES We desire our church to look more like Heaven and celebrate cultural diversity. ​ TEAM FOCUSED – SERVING TOGETHER We desire to equip people to make a kingdom impact. Therefore, we envision every person in our church body part of a team, developing and using his/her talents to serve together. ​ EXCELLENCE DRIVEN – PROVIDING RELEVANT MINISTRY We seek a high standard of excellence in the details. ​ HEALTH REPRODUCES – AIMING FOR MULTIPLICATION Healthy disciples reproduces other disciples. Healthy churches plant other churches. The greatest way to reach the unconvinced is by training pastors and starting other churches.

Beliefs

THE BIBLE IS GOD INSPIRED – 2 TIMOTHY 3:16,17 The Bible is our compass for living. The Old and New Testament is given by God for us to study so we can apply its lessons. Scripture is the ultimate authority for life. ​ GOD IS THE ONE TRUE GOD AND JESUS CHRISTIS HIS SON – JOHN 17:3 There is one all powerful God that is the creator of Heaven and Earth. He loved us so much that he sent his Son so we can have a relationship with Him. Jesus Christ is fully God who was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, taught truth, died on a cross, and resurrected from the dead. His same healing power is available for us today. ​ PEOPLE SIN. GOD SAVES – ROMANS 6:23 We mess up and the Bible calls it sin. God created us in his own image, but we chose disobedience. We deserve death and separation from God, but by his grace through his Son Jesus we can be forgiven. By trusting God as our Lord and Savior, we can experience freedom and live an amazing life. ​ COMMUNION AND WATER BAPTISM – ACTS 2:41,42 There are two ways we can remember what Jesus did for us on the cross. Communion is memorial and a celebration. The eucharist consists of two elements: the bread helps reminds of his body and the cup reminds of his blood. The Bible encourages us to follow his example by being immersed in water as soon after we make a decision to follow him. It is a public way for us to show that we are changed. ​ ONE-EIGHTY LIFESTYLE – ROMANS 12:1,2 God welcomes us the way we are, but change begins to happen from the inside out. We stop living for ourselves and desire to glorify God by our actions and words. ​ THE HOLY SPIRIT – ACTS 1:8 The baptism of the Holy Spirit gives us power to share the good news of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin. He gives us different gifts so we can build up the church and love others. The gifts of the spirit demonstrated in an orderly way are a beautiful and vital part of the church. ​ THE CHURCH – EPHESIANS 4:12 The church is filled with authentic followers of Jesus who follow the New Testament church in its four purposes (Worship, Instruction, Fellowship, and Expression). The mission of the church is to become friends with the unconvinced so there may be opportunities for them to become life long followers of Christ. ​ GOD’S PLAN FOR THE END TIMES –1 THESSALONIANS 4:17 The Bible says that Jesus will return to the earth to bring his followers to Heaven. There will be a final judgement in which the dead will be resurrected and judged. Everyone whose name is not in the Book of Life, will be separated for eternity in Hell. Those whose names are written in the Book of Life will be rewarded and spend eternity with other followers in Christ in Heaven.
