Core Values
Bible-Centered
We believe that God, through Biblical Gospel-centered preaching, teaching, and counseling, transforms individual lives, relationships, communities and culture. This conviction leads us to permeate all aspects of church ministry with teaching, preaching, and counseling that is Bible-centered in the Reformed tradition, while seeking to communicate in relevant ways to the world in which we live.
Loving Community
We believe that the Christian life is best lived in community. The Christian life is not meant to be a solitary experience. The practice of Christian love requires the developing of intimate, caring relationships. We will encourage everyone to be in a small group and will structure all ministries in teams.
Mission Outpost
We believe that the local church is a mission outpost. Therefore, the church and its members actively seek ways to penetrate the community and individual lives with the Gospel and to include all those encountered in God's Kingdom and church. Furthermore, we view world evangelism as an integral extension of the church’s mission.
Servant Leadership
We believe that God uses godly servant leadership to advance His purposes in the church. This conviction causes us to focus on the selection, training, and development of new leadership for kingdom purposes. We believe that biblical leadership should be growing in transformation and in their commitment to welcome people of all nations to join in the joyful celebration of our King.
Grace
We believe that God's grace permeates every aspect of our life together. Whether a person is a mature believer, a young Christian or a seeker, God's grace speaks to the heart and satisfies the soul. Everything that we do will announce and present grace rather than law and legalism. We intend to communicate a warm, winsome and caring evangelical faith.
Relevant Worship
We believe that worship is central in the life of the believer. Worship that glorifies God, both in daily life and the regular gathering of the church, is the natural response of the believer to the grace of God. We desire to facilitate participatory corporate worship experiences that give God glory, honor and praise, that open the way for authentic encounters with Him and that bring His followers great delight.
Discipleship
We believe God calls every believer to wholehearted discipleship. A church full of Christians who are running hard after God, living with intent as His children and using their gifts to extend His Kingdom, brings God great glory and is a powerful witness to the world. We are eager to help every Christian live as a learner, minister, evangelist and steward.
Prayer
We believe that prayer is vital to the mission of the church. We will endeavor to live and serve in dependence on God’s power and we will dedicate ourselves to fortify our lives and ministries in personal and corporate prayer.
Reconciliation
We believe in pursuing godly family relationships. Our conviction is that the gospel calls us to reconciliation in all human relationships, especially the family. As a church family and as individual families we seek to express the reconciling and transforming power of the gospel among people of all nations.
