We value
the Bible as God’s Word and recognize it as the final authority for our lives
and ministry.
2 Timothy
3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 12:6; Hebrews 4:12
Christ centered praise and worship
We value praising God as a church in ways
that exalt Christ, are spiritually meaningful, and culturally relevant.
Ephesians 5:19-20; Psalm 33:3; 149:1
People matter to God and to us
We value every man, woman,
and child because they are loved by God.
Luke 15
Discipleship
The goal of
our ministry is to transform people into fully devoted followers of Christ
“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All
authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me, Therefore 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 I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28:18-20
A culture of prayer
We value individual prayer and corporate
prayer as expressions of our dependence on God for power and guidance.
Ministry
and evangelism must be carried out in a relevant way. Our methods must be
innovative and relevant.
“…I have become all things to all men so
that by all possible means I might save some.” 1 Corinthians 9:22b
Reaching the Lost
Our church
must have an evangelistic impact in our world. We are committed to world
missions.
“So the word of God spread. The number of
disciples in Jerusalem
increased rapidly, and a large number of
priest become obedient to the faith,” Acts 6:7
Sacrificial stewardship
We value the role of every Christian as a steward
of God’s time and resources, and strive to give sacrificially.
Everything
we do for Christ must be done with excellence.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your
heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from
the Lord as a reward.” Colossians 3:23-24
Leadership development
We value identifying, inspiring, and
equipping those God has called to leadership in the church.
Luke 6:12-16; Luke 10:1-2; Exodus
18:14-26; 1 Corinthians 12:8
