OUR MISSION
To know Christ and to make Him known.
OUR VISION
We are a worshiping church family, fully committed to knowing Christ and making
Him known. We love to tell others the good news of Jesus Christ. We are
committed to helping people grow in the knowledge and love of Christ so that
together we can follow His example when confronted with the challenges of the
world. We are committed to equipping the entire family for His service so that
we can find and fulfill our calling in the work of the Kingdom.
OUR BELIEFS
1. We believe in one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We affirm the ancient
Creeds and the historic Faith and Order of the One, Holy, Catholic, and
Apostolic Church under the ultimate authority of the Holy Scriptures of the Old
and New Testaments.
2. Jesus Christ is the head of this church. Jesus Christ is the perfect
revelation of the Father, and He is revealed to us in the Holy Bible, the Word
of God written, which is our authority for living.
3. The cross of Christ is central. It is by the completed and perfect sacrifice
of Jesus on the cross of Calvary that we are redeemed from sin and death, and
made righteous for new and eternal life in Him.
4. Jesus is our personal Lord and Savior. "Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth,
and the Life" (John 14:6).
5. We are committed to living as an Acts 2:42 church; that is, we will continue
in the apostles' teaching, in loving fellowship with other believers, in the
breaking of the bread in church together, and in prayer.
6. God calls us to daily personal prayer and Bible study, as well as regular
participation in small groups and Christian discipleship classes in order to
grow in the Lord. Discipleship begins in our nursery, continues with our
children and youth, and is a lifelong pursuit.
7. We are committed to local evangelism and outreach to worldwide mission,
making disciples who make disciples of Jesus Christ and planting churches that
plant churches.
8. We strive to be a "Great Commission" church, fulfilling Christ's mandate in
Matthew 28:18-20 to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in
the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
and teaching them to obey everything He has commanded us."
9. We rely on the Holy Spirit of truth, who is our power for living. Galatians
5:22-23 reminds us the world should be able to see the Holy Spirit in the life
of every Christian.
10. We believe that God has certain ministries in mind for every believer and
that His Holy Spirit will supply every one of us with the necessary gifts and
talents to empower us for the work that He gives us to do.
11. Tithing is the standard for Christian giving.
12. Prayer is our continual conversation with God - both talking to Him and
listening to His response. It is through the power of prayer that God reveals
His will for us as individuals and as a body, that He bestows His healing
mercies upon us, and that He draws us closer to Him as disciples of Jesus Christ
