AUTHORITY OF SCRIPTURE

God is our ultimate authority. Since we believe God has spoken to us through the Scriptures in order to reveal Himself so we can know Him, we see the Bible as authoritative. This means what the Bible says about God is true and what the Bible says is the best way to live is truly the best! As we submit to God to live for Him, we submit to the authority He extends through Scripture.

STRATEGIC SERVICE

As gifted members of the body of Christ, each believer is responsible for exercising his or her gifts in tandem with other members of the body. It is not enough to exercise spiritual gifts. Maximum impact is contingent upon a coordinated, strategic exercise of gifts in the body.

WHOLISTIC WORSHIP

The worship of God is one of if not the primary purpose and function for which God created us. We hold dearly to the truth that we are to worship God in and through everything we do, say, or think. The worship of God is to occur individually, together as families, and corporately as the church.

AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY

We believe accountability, care, and a sense of belonging are critical to balance and progress in our spiritual journey. These three things are best achieved within the context of a small group of like-minded, relationally-connected believers. Unity must and does occur as people experience authentic community with one another.

RESTORATION

Jesus came in order to restore God’s original intent to all creation, especially to humanity. Since Jesus was and is victorious, the restoration has begun of all things. We get to be a part of God restoring people and all of His creation to His original intent and beyond. That is why we as a church must continuously be striving to bring restoration to peoples’ lives by sharing the Gospel in love and deeds, healing marriages and families, stand up for moral causes, and have a perspective of God’s will being done on earth as it is in heaven. Our community must become a better place because of us.

GROWTH

Healthy organisms grow. We highly value the growth of individuals in their walks with Christ. We as individuals grow in Christ as we grow in our knowledge and application of the Word of God and our participation in the God’s kingdom activity. We value the growth of our congregation in number and in depth as our individual members grow and have a greater impact. We value the growth of our impact on our community as we are agents of restoration and transformation.
