Core Values

  • Jesus first! We trust His Word, follow His lead, and honor Him above all.
    We start small and think big. We go all in with a risk-taking faith.
    We are driven by purpose, not by programs, culture, buildings, nor budgets.
  • We keep it real and fight against sin. We live and lead with authenticity.
  • Everybody belongs. We care about the heart, not the skin, the clothes, nor the past.
  • We keep it relevant by being flexible. We get creative and remain open-minded to reach more people.
  • We are creative – with a broad approach to marketing, advertising and our overall worship experience.
  • We grow larger in number without sacrificing relationships.
  • We are a structured, yet spirit-led ministry where high-praise and glory-filled worship are the staples of our church.
  • We partner with the community and organizations to make a greater impact.

Statement of Faith

  • We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible written Word of God.
  • We believe that there is only One God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and, God the Holy Spirit.
  • We believe in the blessed Hope, which is the rapture of the Church of God, which is in Christ, at His return.
  • We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious Blood of Jesus Christ.
  • We believe that regeneration by the Holy Ghost is absolutely essential for personal salvation.
  • We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross provides healing for the human body in answer to believing prayer.
  • We believe that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it.
