We are a Gospel-centered, Bible-teaching church; a multi-generational family of believers and searchers, committed to live out the Great Commandment and the Great Commission, together.
Luke 10:27 • Matthew 28:18-20
We are god's family on mission
Make disciples who make disciples
Jesus commands us to be disciples who make disciples; learning, as well as teaching one another, how to trust and obey all that Jesus said and did. We are disciples of Jesus, helping others live as disciples of Jesus as we walk alongside one another.
Matthew 28:19-20
love like we have been loved
We love because we have been loved, and in the way we have been loved. Jesus loves us in the midst of our mess, so we choose to love others in the midst of theirs. In the same way that our Heavenly Father loves us, we seek to love others right where they are but love them too much to let them stay right where they are.
John 13:34-35
we believe
GOD
We believe in one God eternally existing as one essence and three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, each of whom is fully God, yet there is one God.
Deuteronomy 6:4 • Matthew 28:19 • 2 Corinthians 13:14 • Ephesians 4:5-6

THE GOSPEL
The gospel is the good news of God’s grace invading the darkness of this world. It is the grand narrative of creation, rebellion, redemption and renewal ordained by God and orchestrated through the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. Christ’s crucifixion is the heart of the gospel. His resurrection is the power of the gospel. His ascension is the glory of the gospel.
Romans 1:16 • 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 • Galatians 1:6-11

THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible (66 books of the Old & New Testament) is the infallible Word of God, penned by human authors through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and when all the facts are known, and when the Bible is properly interpreted, the original autographs of the Bible will be shown to be completely true in all that they affirm. It is complete and should not be added to by tradition. Its truths are eternal, they are the authority by which we determine what is true and right, and they should guide the way we exist within culture, rather than be shaped by culture. Its study leads people to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and is the responsibility of all believers.
Proverbs 30:5 • 1 Thessalonians 2:13 • Hebrews 4:12 • 1 Peter 1:21
1 Corinthians 2:13 • 2 Timothy 3:15-17 • Psalm 119

SALVATION
We believe that salvation comes by faith alone, through Christ alone and because of God’s grace alone. We need it, because of our rebellion against God and cannot earn it, but we receive it as a gift from God and for the glory of God. God, in his infinite and perfect love, and through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, breathes life into dead souls and allows us to be reconnected to Himself through saving faith in His Son.
Acts 4:11-12 • John 14:6-7 • Romans 3:24-26 • Ephesians 2:1-10 • 2 Corinthians 5:17-21
