God’s glory above all.  This is all about God.  

Jesus is better.  Christianity is not primarily about self-improvement or religious effort. It is about what Jesus has done through His life, death, and resurrection to reconcile us to God.

Scripture is truth.  We believe Scripture speaks clearly and authoritatively to every generation. Teaching and understanding the Bible is central to our gatherings.

Prayer is essential. The power of God makes our mission possible.  

The Church is family. Church is more than a weekly event. We desire genuine relationships where people encourage one another, carry burdens together, and grow spiritually over time.

Discipleship matters.  We grow through worship, teaching, prayer, service, and everyday community.

Love works.  We love God.  We love our neighbors.  People see our love when we serve each other, our neighbors, and the nations.  

There is only one true God.  He is the Creator of Heaven and earth.  He exists in three eternally in three distinct persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. 

Jesus is the eternal Son of God.  He was born from a virgin.  He is fully God and fully human.  He lived a sinless life, obeyed the Father’s will perfectly and died a substitutionary death on the cross.  Jesus rose from the dead, ascended to the Father, and will physically return to establish His kingdom.

The Holy Spirit lives inside every believer, giving us gifts, guiding our lives and powering the church.  

The Scriptures are our ultimate authority.  They are given to us by God, written by men, and without error.  They reveal to us what God intends that we know about himself and all spiritual matters. 

Man is God’s good and special creation, made in the image of God, and deserving of love and respect.   All of mankind are sinners by nature as well as by action and need redeeming by Christ.  

Faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ is the only way we can be reconciled to God, be forgiven of our sins and experience true and eternal life.  This is the work of God, done by grace alone. 

One day in the future, Christ will return, all people will be judged, earth will be re-made, and everyone will spend eternity in heaven or hell. 

Jesus summed up the entire Mission of the church in two phrases.  

Love God with everything you have.   

And

Love your neighbor as yourself.  

We do that by loving upward, loving inward and loving outward.  

We love upwards by worshipping the one true and living God in everything we do.  

We love inwards by walking with each other in a way that encourages good works, spurs each other towards love and provides caring accountability. 

We love outwardly by sharing the gospel with our neighbors across the street and across the nations.  

Jesus was constantly offering people the same invitation- “Follow me.”    We want to make disciples of Jesus as we follow Jesus.
