Core Beliefs

  1. We Embrace Biblical Authority.  Scripture is inspired by God and is our full and final authority on all matters of faith and practice (Psalm 119:11; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
  2. We Embrace Prayer.  We are a church that prays, believing that prayer is the power source behind everything that happens in our ministry (Ephesians 6:18; 2 Chronicles 7:14-15; Matthew 6:5-13).
  3. We Embrace Grace.  Our salvation is received by the grace of God and not by our self-effort, and that shapes our acceptance and interaction with others (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 5:8).
  4. We Embrace Authenticity. Because none of us are perfect, we acknowledge both our strengths and our weaknesses as we pursue holiness and unity as a church.  Truth-telling and biblical conflict resolution are essential to relational authenticity (Romans 3:23; Ephesians 4:25-32; John 17:23; Matthew 18:15-20).
  5. We Embrace Excellence. Through forethought and intentionality, we pursue excellence in our desire to honor God and inspire people (1 Corinthians 10:31; Colossians 3:17; Malachi 1:6-14; Proverbs 27:17).
  6. We Embrace People. People matter to God, so they matter to us.  We demonstrate our love for God by loving others with our words and actions (Luke 5:30-32; Luke 15; Matthew 18:14).
