To glorify God in all things as we make disciples in our city, nation, and world.
Our Vision
We want to BE the church. The church is people who are:
01.
Empowered by the Spirit
Without the Holy Spirit and His power, we can do nothing. That is why Jesus graciously promised us the gift of the Holy Spirit - so that He can work both in us and through us to accomplish His work on the earth. Our aim is to be people who live as set-apart people. People who are continually filled with the Holy Spirit so that we have the ability to live as He has asked us to live.
02.
Centered on the Gospel
To be centered on the Gospel means far beyond knowing facts about the Gospel. It means that your life is actually being affected by the truths of the Gospel. Our aim is to be people who are learning to place Jesus in the center of every aspect of our lives so that we become more like Christ.
03.
Sent on Mission
If you have put your faith in Jesus, it means that you have become a witness of the Gospel. You have experienced Christ. This means you now have the call to go and tell others what you have heard, what you have seen, and what you have experienced. Our aim is to be people who follow this call. To be missionaries - people who share the truths of the Gospel and who show the truths of the Gospel.

Our Core Beliefs
Select from a topic to learn about what we believe.
Trinity
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and co-eternal
God is great: He is all powerful, all knowing, ever present, unchanging, completely worthy of our trust, and above all, holy. It is in Him that we live, move and exist. God is good: He is our Father. He is loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people and His promises.
Jesus Christ is completely human but, at the same time, completely God. He is the only plan for bringing people who are far from God back into a right relationship with God. He was born of a virgin, and He lived a perfect life, so that He could be a substitution for us in satisfying God's demands for perfection. He defeated death in His resurrection so that we could have life.
His presence assures us of our relationship with Christ. He guides believers into all truth and exalts Christ. He convicts people of their sin, God's righteousness, and the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.
Man was created to glorify God forever. We will be either eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God by our resurrection through forgiveness and salvation made possible by the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven.
Man is made in the image of God and is the supreme object of His creation. Man was created to have fellowship with God but became separated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man cannot attain a right relationship with God through his own effort. Every human personality is uniquely created, possesses dignity, and is worthy of respect and Christian love.
Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to make all things new. This will occur at a date and time undisclosed by the Scriptures.
The Lord’s Supper: A unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread and wine (grape juice) representing the Body and the Blood of Jesus Christ are taken in remembrance of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.
Water Baptism: Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in the water in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
