Mission and Values

Core Values

Our cultural identity is found in our values. They define who we are. These values connect us with our past and provide our foundation for the future.

Our Identity

Our identity is a combination of factors including:

AUTHORITY OF THE BIBLE

We value the Bible and believe it is God’s Word to us. The Bible is divinely inspired, inerrant and factually true. As a church and individuals, we study it, believe it, and submit to its authority.

PRAYER

We value scripture-fed, Spirit-led, worship-based prayer as a privilege and means for the child of God to connect to Him in relationship. It is through prayer we display our dependence upon Him and advance the Kingdom of God.

WORSHIP

We value authentic worship as the ultimate end for which we were created. Rejoicing in the infinite, inexhaustible power, holiness, and beauty of God, we experience the height of joy as we celebrate Him.

OUTREACH

We value the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ by every believer and are committed to training, equipping and mobilizing disciples in sharing their faith locally and globally.

DISCIPLESHIP

We value believers growing in faith to become mature followers of Jesus Christ who can mentor others in their faith journey.

COMMUNITY OF BELIEVERS

We value fellowship that encourages, builds up and serves one another through relationship, partnership, companionship, and stewardship.

FAMILY

We value strong families as foundational for a strong church and are committed to providing resources and helping hands to grow God-centered families.
