Our core beliefs
FERVENT PRAYER
Prayer is our communication with God and our humble acknowledgement that we are completely dependent on the love and grace of God. Prayer not only includes our speech to God but also God’s response to us.
We are committed to fostering atmospheres that incorporate the spiritual discipline of prayer throughout our congregation.
Authentic Worship
True worship expresses adoration and reverence to God. Through worship, we bring our lives into the submission of a Glorious God which allows us to see both God and ourselves clearer. We believe we are created, called, and compelled to worship.
We are committed to intergenerational spaces for public and corporate worship that allow diversity of expression and thanksgiving.
Biblical Preaching
We believe that God’s Word is our chief authority and the nourishment for our spiritual hunger. Our preaching aims to expose truth, explain scripture, and implant the gospel in the hearts of every hearer so that they might experience the love of Christ. We are committed tp submitting our lives to the authority of scripture and the power of the preached Word.
Practical Teaching
We believe that God has not only given us his word for our heart and head, but also for our Hand. Scripture shapes our habits and guides our practice.
We are committed to applying scripture to our daily lives and to the issues of the world around us.
Radical Hospitality
We believe we are called to follow Jesus’ example of gathering and welcoming people in the body of Christ. Jesus’ example of hospitality demands an unceasingly invitational posture that we carry with us into our world of work and leisure and into our practice of neighborliness and community service.
We are committed to intentionally including the overlooked, the less fortunate, and those outside the community of faith.
Healthy Relationships
We believe God has blessed us with the gift of relationships so that we might grow and practice our faith. All of our relationships give testimony to our relationship with God. We commit to practicing Christ-centered relationships within and outside the church. Relationships are the core of our congregational care, discipleship, outreach, and evangelism strategies. We are committed to creating environments where young and old, rich and poor, and others who are normally strangers in the world, can foster relationships through Christ.
Selfless Service
We believe God has shaped us to serve. When we serve, we bless others; we are blessed; and we fulfill one of God’s purposes for our life. Being a part of God’s family means we are committed to serve together. God has something for everyone to do in His family. Whatever way we serve God, we do it with passion and excellence because we should always give our best for God. We are committed to creating service opportunities and helping people find areas to serve both in our congregation and in our community.
