We unashamedly and uncompromisingly strive to be:
- Biblically Based – God’s Word is our guide, authority, and conscience in everything. We stand firm where it stands firm and remain flexible where it is flexible. (2 Timothy 3:16)
- Traditional, Yet Relevant: Our worship experiences will be a combination of traditional and contemporary music. We believe the great hymns of the church help us grow in our faith and teach us rich theology that helps us understand who God is and how He works in our lives. We believe the contemporary songs are soul-stirring and bring us to the heart of God in praise and worship. Both young and old find joy in worshipping God through hymns and contemporary songs. (Psalm 95:1) We seek to blend the two.
- Fully Devoted to Christ – We measure our success by our ability to be and make disciples. Full devotion to Jesus is normal for every believer. (Luke 9:23)
- Grounded In Grace – We acknowledge our complete dependence on the goodness and grace of God. Our desire is the extend that grace to others. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
- Passionate About Prayer – We believe the attitude and action of prayer is essential to everything we do. (Colossians 4:2)
- Authentic In Our Walk – Authenticity, integrity, openness, and sincerity will define us. “The goal of our instruction is love, from a good conscience, a pure heart, and a sincere faith.” (1 Timothy 1:5)
- Committed To the Uncommitted – We believe that lost people matter to God; therefore, they matter to us. Jesus came to seek and save the lost and has left us here, in part, to do the same. Our individual lives and corporate efforts will reflect this conviction. (Luke 19:10)
- Committed To Community – Belonging to our community requires a commitment to being intentionally involved with others in accountable, encouraging relationships. We believe life change happens best in the context of relationships. In clusters of caring people, participants share and encourage each other toward spiritual growth. Here people can experience both the benefits of a larger church and enjoy the kind of relationships that only develop in small, safe settings. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
- Focused On Ministry and Service – We believe that each believer has received a special gift and should employ it in serving others, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. Spiritual giftedness and maturity determine where and how a believer serves. We believe excellence honors God and reflects His character. We strive for excellence without compromise in all areas of our ministry and lives. (1 Peter 4:10; Colossians 3:17)
