TO LOVE GOD AND PEOPLE

We want to genuinely love people wherever they are in their walk with God

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭37‬-‭39‬ ‭NLT‬‬   “Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.”

‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬  “This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.”


TO CONNECT PEOPLE WITH JESUS AND EACH OTHER

To see people, young and old, come to faith in Jesus and find new life in Him

To be a church where people feel like it's family

To serve our community with God's love, compassion and the gospel message.

‭‭Acts ‭2‬:‭47‬b ‭NLT‬‬  .... “And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.”

‭‭Acts ‭2‬: 44-‭46‬ ‭NLT‬‬    “And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshipped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity—”

‭‭Acts ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬    “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.””

TO BUILD BIBLICALLY STRONG PEOPLE AND FAMILIES 

To see people equipped, discipled and used in their giftings, for the benefit of people and the glory of God.

To see people stand firm in their faith against evil opposition of the enemy 

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬  Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.”

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬    “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.”


We Believe

WE BELIEVE the Holy Bible is the divinely inspired, unerring Word of God that instructs us in salvation and in knowing the heart and will of God.

WE BELIEVE that Jesus died for our sins, a substitutionary sacrifice, according to the Scriptures, and all who believe and trust in Him are justified, made right with God, and are forgiven.

WE BELIEVE salvation has been provided only through Jesus Christ. We are saved by God’s grace, through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through believing and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. All who repent of their sin and receive the Lord Jesus Christ by Faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.

WE BELIEVE in the Trinity, composed of one God, existing in three persons-the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE that God created man and woman in His image, who willingly fell through sin bringing physical and spiritual death for all people.

WE BELIEVE in the eternal salvation of all believers in Christ in Heaven and the eternal damnation of all unbelievers in hell.

WE BELIEVE Jesus Christ is God the Son, uncreated, co-equal and co-eternal with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. He came to earth, conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born of Mary, a virgin. He is God’s Anointed One. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, was resurrected after 3 days, ascended into heaven, and is now alive today, in the presence of God the Father and in His people, the Church. He is forever “True God” and “True Man”. He will come again to establish His kingdom of righteousness and peace.

WE BELIEVE in water baptism by immersion for followers of Jesus, and the regular remembrance of Christ’s broken body and shed blood for our forgiveness.

WE BELIEVE the baptism of the Holy Spirit provides supernatural power for all believers for a life of bold faith and victorious living.

WE BELIEVE the whole company of those who have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, have been redeemed by Him and have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. They form the one true Church, of which Jesus Christ is the Head. The Church is made up of all who have put their faith in Jesus Christ.
