Our Values
Sharing the Wonder of God
God is Good
God is GOOD, so we owe Him big DREAMS.
“The Lord is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way.” (Psalms 25:8-9 NLT)
God can do Anything
God can do ANYTHING, so we owe Him the risk of FAITH.
“For with God nothing will be impossible.” (Luke 1:37)
The Cross covers Everything
The cross covers EVERYTHING, so we owe Him absolute TRUST.
“Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?” (Romans 8:32)
Every Person Matters
Every person MATTERS, so we owe Him sacrificial SERVICE.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

Our Beliefs
We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.
THE BIBLE
We believe in the verbal inspiration and inerrancy of the Scriptures and the authority of both the Old and New Testaments.
GOD
We believe that God eternally exists in three Persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit-and that these three are one God, having the same nature, attributes, and perfections, and worthy of the same worship, reverence and obedience.
MAN
We believe man was created in the image of God, but sinned and fell through disobedience, and that the entire human race shares in man's lost and depraved nature.
JESUS CHRIST
We believe Jesus, the eternal Son of God, took upon Himself the form of a man by means of the virgin birth, lived a sinless life, yet retained His absolute deity, being at the same time very God and very man.
ATONEMENT FOR SIN
We believe that atonement for sin was made by the sacrificial and substitutionary death of Jesus Christ.
THE RESURRECTION
We believe in the literal resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven, and His priestly intercession.
SALVATION
We believe salvation is the gift of God by grace alone and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that this faith is manifested in works pleasing to God.
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe the Holy Spirit is the Promise of the Father, the Comforter who indwells and places every believer in the Body of Christ, bestows spiritual gifts upon the Church and convicts the world of sin and the judgment to come.
INDWELLING OF THE SPIRIT
While all believers are in-dwelt by the Spirit of God (Romans 8), we believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a definite endowment of power for service and is separate from conversion.
