What We Believe
Our Mission
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20
To Honor God by Leading People to Become Fully Devoted Followers of Jesus Christ.
Our Vision
We believe the following characteristics of the Christian faith will help us develop into fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
A Platform...GRACEThe foundation of the Christian life is entering into a personal relationship with God that is not based on human effort, but in placing one's faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We receive salvation as a gift from God.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
A Plan...GROWTH
A personal relationship with God is only the beginning of the Christian faith. It is His desire that every Christian would live a new life after the pattern established by Jesus Christ. This transformation occurs as the believer embraces God's grace and pursues a life of spiritual growth through worship, prayer, Bible study and Christ-like behavior.

"But grow in the grace and knowledge of out Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen." 2 Peter 3:18
A Process...GROUPS
A Christ follower understands that when they accept God's gift of salvation they become apart of the family of God. As a result they make every effort to build relationships not only with Christ but all those who follow Him. In context of small groups they receive support, share care and provide accountability for one another.

"Everyday they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people" Acts 2:46-47
"May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." 2 Corinthians 13:14
A Privilege...GIVING
Followers of Christ recognize that the heart of God is continually revealed throughout Scripture by the act of giving. It was often the proof of His love for all mankind (John 3:16). In order for the kingdom of God to advance, every individual will commit their time, talents and treasure through the ministry of the local church.

"But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us—see that you also excel in this grace of giving." 2 Corinthians 8:7
"We have different gifts, according to the grace given us." Romans 12:6
"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms." 1 Peter 4:10
"On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made." 1 Corinthians 16:2
A Passion...GOING
We believe that unchurched people matter to God and such they have the right to hear the true message about Jesus Christ in a method that is meaningful to them. As Christ followers, we consistently share the story of His love with others in the context of our daily relationship.

"For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people." Titus 2:11 "Well, then, said his master, go out into the country lanes and out behind the hedges and urge anyone you find to come, so that the house will be full." Luke 14:23
A Purpose...GLORIFY
Recognizing His amazing love and responding to all that He has provided in our lives, we direct all praise and thanks alone to God. Everything we do finds its purpose in drawing attention to God and bringing honor to His name.
