Statement of Faith
The most important thing about a church is what it believes. This statement summarizes our understanding of what the Bible teaches.
Membership Covenant
While our statement of faith summarizes what we believe, this church covenant summarizes how we intend to live together.
Mission
We exist to see, savor and show the glory of God in Jesus Christ by being and making disciples of all nations.
Vision
By God's grace we want to be a church that is...
Gospel-Centered
We celebrate and trust in Jesus’ death in our place, His resurrection from the dead, and His supremacy over all things.
Word-Saturated
We want our lives to be shaped by the Bible, God’s life-giving Word.
Spirit-Empowered
We depend on God in prayer and live by His Spirit’s power.
Lovingly-Committed
We commit to one another in love under Jesus’ authority.
Zealously-Missional
We spread our joy by helping others walk with Jesus, near and far.
Biblically-Shepherded
We open our lives up to the loving care of our church family and its pastors.
Leadership
God has entrusted the leadership of the local church to elders (also called overseers or pastors). An elder is a man who meets the biblical qualifications laid down in Scripture, and whose responsibility is to know, feed, lead and protect the church
