Core Values

    We believe in one personal, transcendent and holy God, the Creator of all who is
    eternal and who manifests Himself in three separate persons: Father, Son and Holy
    Spirit.
    Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1-2;
    2 Corinthians 13:14; Philippians 2:6

We believe that Jesus Christ, though fully God, became a human and that He is the
promised Messiah, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided for the atonement of
our sins by His vicarious death on the cross, was bodily resurrected by the power of the
Holy Spirit, ascended back to the right hand of God the Father, and lives forever to make
intercession for us.
    John 1:1: Matthew 1:20-23; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 1:3, 10:12;
    John 16:7-11; Matthew 19:28, 25:31; 2 Timothy 2:8

    After Jesus ascended to heaven, He poured out the Holy Spirit on the believers in
    Jerusalem, enabling them to fulfill His command to preach the Gospel to the entire
    world, an obligation shared by all believers today.  
    Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8, 4:8, 4:31

We believe that all people are by nature and choice separated from God and responsible
for their own sin.  Further, we believe that God offers salvation, redemption and
forgiveness freely through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.  
    Genesis 3; Romans 3:23, 5:12; 1 John 1:8; Ephesians 2:3-10

    We believe that when a person trusts in the substitution death and resurrection of
    Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, trusting Him alone to save, and not good works, at
    that moment salvation is received: they are immediately born again, forgiven, sealed
    by the Holy Spirit, and become a child of God.
    Ephesians 1:7, 2:1-10; Rom.10:9-10;John 1:12


We believe that Jesus Christ is the head of the Body, His Church, and that He is able to
lead our local church.  Therefore, our church government is simple rather than
bureaucratic.  We desire to be led by the Holy Spirit in all the functions and directions for
the ministry of the church.
    Ephesians 1:22, 4:1-16; 1 Timothy 3:1; Acts 14:23

    We believe that Jesus Christ will personally and visibly return to the earth.  His soon
    return motivates us to heartfelt worship, service and witness.
    Titus 2:13; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; Acts 2:38-47;
    1 Thessalonian 4:13-18; 1 John 3:2-3

We seek to teach the Word of God in such a way that its message can be applied to an
individual’s life, leading that person to greater maturity in Christ.
    Isaiah 28:13; Acts 20:27; Nehemiah 8:8; Matthew 7:24; James 1:22-24

    We believe in the resurrection of the body unto eternal life for the saved and unto
    eternal punishment for the lost.
    Revelation 20; Acts 24:25; John 5:28-29; Luke 16:19-31;
     2 Corinthians 5:8;1 Thessalonian 4:14-17; 1 John 3:2

We believe in the person and work of the Holy Spirit, who indwells seals and empowers all
believers, baptizing them into the Body of Christ.  We believe in the fullness of the Holy
Spirit for all believers who ask in faith, enabling them to preach the Gospel in power.  
    John 16:7-15; 1 Corinthians 12:13; 2 Corinthians 1:22;
    Ephesians 1:13; Matthew 28:16-20; Acts 1:8

    We also believe that all the gifts of the Holy Spirit described in the New Testament
    are still to be exercised within scriptural guidelines.  
    Heb.2:4; Rom.11:29; 1 Corinthians 12,14.

We believe that demonstrating the genuine love of Christ is more important than all the
gifts, and without this love, all exercise of spiritual gifts is worthless.
     1 Corinthians 13

    We believe that the most important aspect of ministry is to guide each believer into
    an intimate walk with Jesus and being conformed into His image.  
    Romans 8:29; Philippians 2:1-7; 2 Corinthians 3:18
