We want Jesus at the center of all we do. Apart from Him, we can do nothing. We gather on the weekends to encounter Him corporately. We are intentional in our personal relationships with Jesus by prioritizing practices of worship, prayer, reading and meditation on scripture, and gathering with other believers.  

John 15:4-9, 1 John 2:6, Luke 10:38-42

Our surrendered lives are changed from the inside out. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we no longer conform to the ways of the world, but instead, our lives are holy and pleasing to God. We embrace the lifelong process of sanctification. We are new creations. We love others radically and press into deep, meaningful relationships. His presence sets us apart.  

2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 2:20, Romans 12:1-2

We don’t want to be merely hearers of the Word, but doers of it. In step with His Spirit, and with the armor of God, we look for ways to do what Jesus did in our everyday lives. We take the time to see the people around us as Jesus sees them. We want to share Jesus with others, teach His ways, and extend His love here, near, and far.

John 12:26, John 14:12-14, Matthew 4:19

We believe there is only one God who is creator and sustainer of all things. He is perfect, loving, good, just and holy. He alone is worthy of our worship and devotion. He is the eternal and personal God who has revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Genesis 1:1; Exodus 34:6; Psalm 90:1-2; Matthew 28:18-20; Revelation 22:13

We believe Jesus is the Son of God, Messiah, and Savior of the world who will return as the risen King.

Genesis 12:1-3; John 3:16; 14:1-6; 1 Corinthians 15:3-5; Hebrews 4:14-15; 1 Peter 2:21-24

We believe the Holy Spirit is God who reveals and exalts Jesus Christ. He comforts, convicts, guides and empowers Christians.

Genesis 1:2; Matthew 28:18-20; John 16:13-15; Galatians 5:22-26; Ephesians 1:13-14

We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and without error in the original manuscripts.

Proverbs 30:5; Luke 1:1-4; John 20:31; 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5; 2 Peter 1:19-21; 1 John 4:1

We believe all people are created by God in His image and given value, dignity and purpose but have been corrupted by sin and are in need of a Savior.  

Genesis 1:27-31; Psalm 51:10-12; 139:13-18; Matthew 18:3-7; Luke 18:9-14; Romans 3:23; 2 Corinthians 5:16

We believe sin is rebellion against God that fractures all things. It separates us from God, preventing us from connecting with or accomplishing His will. 

Genesis 3:11-12; Isaiah 1:2-5; Luke 15:11-31; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 5:6-8

We believe salvation comes by grace through faith and is a gift from God that requires repentance by us and results in our forgiveness and the restoration of our relationship with God.

Isaiah 53:1-6; John 10:10; Acts 2:38; Romans 5:8; 6:1-7; 6:23; 1 Corinthians 2:9; Ephesians 2:8-10

We believe heaven and hell are real, eternal destinations that are a choice for each person. Heaven is a place of eternal joy with God, where everything is restored to perfection. Hell is the absence of God with eternal suffering, and is completely avoidable. 

Genesis 18:25; Deuteronomy 32:4; Psalm 19:9; Matthew 7:13-14; Mark 9:42-48; John 3:1, 5:28-29; 2 Peter 3:9

We believe spiritual gifts are given by God to all believers to build up His body and accomplish His mission.

Romans 12:6-8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, 28; Ephesians 4:7-13; 2 Timothy 1:6-7; 1 Peter 4:1-11

We believe the church is the gathering of the regenerated people of God. They are devoted to worship, prayer and the teaching of Scripture and are preparing to be the extension of Jesus’ character, attitude, behavior and mission to the ends of the earth. 

Matthew 22:34-40; 28:18-20; Ephesians 4:11-16; 2 Corinthians 5:20; Colossians 1:9-12; 3:12-17; 1 Peter 5:4

We believe marriage is a God-ordained life-long covenant relationship between a man and a woman. Sex is a gift from God to be enjoyed in the sanctity of marriage. 

Genesis 3:20-25; Matthew 19:4-5; 1 Corinthians 6:18-20; 7:7-9; Ephesians 5:31-32

We believe God is pleased when we have unity in the essentials. We also believe God allows freedom in the non-essentials and He requires Christ-like love in all things.

Psalm 133:1; John 17:20-26; Romans 14:1-15:6; 1 Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:1-13; Philippians 2:1-8; 1 Peter 3:8-12
