Core Values
We Are Committed To A Hunger For Truth
The anointed teaching of God’s Word is vital for personal transformation. With the Bible as our text, we will seek to be culturally relevant while remaining doctrinally pure.
John 8:32, 1 Corinthians 2:1-3, 2 Timothy 2:15, 2 Timothy 3:16-17
We Are Committed To Passionate Worship
This is why we were created: the Holiness of God compels us to worship Him passionately in Spirit and Truth, both corporately and personally, focusing on Christ and the message of the cross.
Psalm 8, Psalm 148, Luke 4:8, John 4:23-24, Acts 2:42-47, Revelation 4:8-11
We Are Committed To Evangelism
All people matter to God and therefore, matter to each believer. God has called the individual and the church to initiate and cultivate life-changing relationships in our homes and community by proclaiming the Good News.
Matthew 9:35-38, Luke 10:1-2, Luke 15, 1 Corinthians 3:6-9, 1 Corinthians 9:22-23, 2 Timothy 4:2
We Are Committed To Missions
A hunger for and commitment to reaching the lost compels us to equip ourselves and others to communicate the Good News to the lost around the world. We will actively participate with, create, seek out and support missionaries who are committed to evangelizing the world.

We Are Committed To Godly Leadership
God has provided great resources among His people that need to be enlisted, developed and placed into leadership. The church will flourish when people equipped by the Word of God and led by the Spirit of God are serving in the right places for the right reasons.
Romans 12:3-8, 1 Timothy 3:1-13, 2 Timothy 4:5, Titus 1:5-9

Life change happens best when we are made accountable to God and fellow believers to learn, apply and model the Scriptures. In doing so, the individual and body will grow from spiritual infancy to maturity.
