Who We Are
Mission
Our mission is to extend God’s Kingdom by creating opportunities for people to encounter God and experience transformation.
Values
We value God’s Word and the understanding that it provides for those who seek it (Matthew 4:4, 2 Timothy 3:16).
We value the grace and mercy of God that is made available to man in unlimited measure (Hebrews 4:16, James 5:11).
We value the presence and work of the Holy Spirit, which prepares and empowers us for ministry (John 20:21-23, Acts 1:8).
We value humility and transparency, which leads to God’s restoration in our lives (James 5:16, Luke 15:20).
We value the continual process of personal transformation through the presence and power of Christ (II Cor. 3:18, 5:17, Rom.12:2).
We value the discovery and activation of the gifts of God in each person’s life (I Cor.12:7, Eph.4:11-13).
We value the mobilization and engagement of the church within our culture and community (Mt.28:18-20, John 17:15-18).
Beliefs
We believe in the verbal inspiration of the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, by the Holy Spirit as originally given; they are the final authority for our faith and life.
(2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12)
God
We believe in one God revealed in three coequal, distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
(Matthew 3:16-17; 28:19-20; Ephesians 2:18)
Man
We believe that man in his natural state is a sinner, lost, undone, without hope and without God
(Ephesians 2:1-2; Romans 3:23)
Divinity and Humanity of Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who by His incarnation and virgin birth took upon Himself the form of man and became the God-Man. In the one person of Christ, there are two natures, human and divine, each in its completeness and integrity. They are distinguishable but indivisible, so that He is fully Man and fully God. He lived a sinless life and became the only sacrifice for the sins of the world.
(Ephesians 1:3-5; Romans 5:1-11; Acts 12:4; 1 Peter 1:18-19)
Bodily Resurrection
We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Luke 24:38-43; John 20:24-29)
Salvation
We believe that terms of salvation are repentance toward God for sin and a personal heart-felt faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, which results in regeneration. This salvation is entirely by grace and not by works.
(Ephesians 2:6-10; Romans 5:1; Acts 3:19-20)
Second Coming
We believe in the visible, bodily return of Christ to this earth to judge the world and to claim His Bride.
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 1:7)
Church
It is made up of all those who are endeavoring to follow Jesus Christ both locally and universally.
(Matthew 16:18; Acts 20:28)
Heaven and Hell
We believe in the doctrines of eternal punishment for the lost and eternal bliss and service for the saved; hell for the unsaved and heaven for the saved.
(John 14:13; Revelation 20:11-15)
Satan
We believe that Satan is a fallen, created being who is the "god of this world." he and his organized company of demons are opposed to the
(Luke 10:17-20; Colossians 2:13-15;Ephesians 6:10-18)
Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Church at Pentecost in power, baptizing believers into the Body of Christ and releasing the gifts of the Spirit to them. The Spirit brings the permanent indwelling presence of God to us for spiritual worship, personal sanctification, building up the Church, gifting us for ministry, and driving back the
We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is our abiding Helper, Teacher, and Guide. We believe in the filling or empowering of the Holy Spirit, often a conscious experience, for ministry today. We believe in the present ministry of the Spirit and in the exercise of all the biblical gifts of the Spirit. We practice the laying on of hands for the empowering of the Spirit, for healing, and for recognition and empowering of those whom God has ordained to lead and serve the Church. (John 14:16-17; Acts 1:8, 2:1-4)
Ordinances
We believe that believer's water baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordinances of the church and should be practiced regularly.
(Acts 2:38; Acts 2:44-47; Romans 6:3-10; 1 Corinthians 10:16-21)
