What we believe
Our statements of belief

 

1. Prayer
We believe that prayer is the lifeline of the church

2. Christian Excellence
because we seek to do everything to the glory of God, we will try to achieve excellence in all of our ministry endeavors.

3. Relational Evangelism
We believe God's heart breaks over all the people in our community and in our world who don't have a personal knowledge of Jesus, therefore our hearts will be broken over them as well.

4. Seeker-sensitive worship
We will conduct our worship services in a way that makes sense to non-believers and in a way that removes barriers to thier coming to faith in Christ, without comprimising the eternal message of the gospel.

5. Culturally relevant
We seek t present the unchanging good news of Jesusin a way that is up-to-date and relevant to the needs of 21st century people.

6.Discipleship Process
We believe that becoming a mature follower of Jesus is a life-long process that can be intentionally fostered.

7. Loving Relationships
We believe that small groups and Sunday School Classes are God's primary plan for building loving relationships in His church and that they are useful for evangelism, discipleship, and leadership development

8. Partnering in Ministry
We believe that a person who is experiencing a growing relationship with Jesus Christ will naturally want to serve others through the gifts that God has given him/her and that God especially wants us to serve the poor and those who are less fortunate than us.

9. Team Based Ministry
We believe that an empowered team of people working together to carry out a God given task is the most effective means of accomplishing our mission. The primary responsibility of pastors is to equip the laity to do the work of the ministry.

10. Intentional apprenticing
We believe that all who are using thier spiritual gifts in service to others can show someone else how to do what they are doing so that workers are multiplied.

11. Ministry to Families
We believe that devoted Christian families are God's means of transforming the world
