We are committed to biblical teaching. God has made available to us his whole counsel in the words of Scripture. The primary task of our church leadership is to ensure all know God’s word as revealed in the Bible. Disciples of Jesus should know the core beliefs of our faith and be intimately committed to these core beliefs.

We are intentional about making, developing, nurturing, and deploying disciples of Christ through small groups (e.g., Sunday School, Bible studies, mission/outreach ministries, etc.) where each person is invited, challenged, supported, and held accountable in living lives that reflect the character and mission of Christ. We believe Jesus is the Truth and invite all — from the very young to the very old — to participate in classes to study Scripture, to learn about the richness of the Christian faith, and how to share it with others.

We are focused to advance his kingdom here on earth. We are genuinely interested in those who do not have a life-giving relationship with Jesus discovering his great love for them. Fueled by Jesus’ love and forgiveness, every disciple is called to make disciples, who in turn make more disciples. This is not the work of some. It is the calling of every disciple of Jesus in fulfilling this missional priority.

We are called to serve others so they may know the grace and love of Jesus in their lives. We see the hurts that break the heart of God. Our hearts are broken too. We desire to be poured out so others can experience the presence and power of God in their lives. Each day we are to search for those who are lost, alienated from God, rejected by others, and isolated from community. Then we are to offer them our love and God’s love as we share with them God’s design for a life that flourishes. We have a ministry of reconciliation. With all humility, we join God in his work of redemption and restoration.

We are a global church recognizing and deploying the gifts and contributions of each part of the church, working as partners in the Gospel with equal voice and leadership. We connect with churches from different regions of the world who develop mutually rewarding relationships to share the Gospel and to grow God’s kingdom globally. Connecting with a church elsewhere in the world allows us to develop deep personal relationships, learn from being followers of Christ in different cultures, and share in one another’s ministries, supporting one another in prayer, and combining the gifts entrusted to us by God as we watch God use ordinary people to do his extraordinary work.
