Who We Are
Mission
We are a multigenerational church dedicated to worshipping Jesus, growing personally & spiritually, & reaching others with the Gospel.
Adopted In
We endeavor to be a church that invites people to become adopted in to the family of God through salvation which in turn makes them adopted in to the local church for corporate worship, fellowship, and community.
Growing Up
We emphasize spiritual disciplines in the Christian life that will foster each individual believer growing up. These practices are intended to reform a person’s heart, which works itself out in their heads (biblical literacy) and hands (Christian service).
Reaching Out
Ultimately, growth in Christ is for the purpose of reaching out. We recognize that God has uniquely given each person a circle in which they uniquely have influence including family, friends, neighbors, schoolmates, & co-workers. The best opportunity to see these people won to Christ is through individual witness.
What We Believe
The Bible
The Bible to be the inspired, only infallible, authoritative Word of God (2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21).
There is One God
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:1, 1:26; Ex. 3:13-14; Col. 1:17; Matt. 28:19-20).
Deity of Jesus Christ
In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory (John 1:1-3, 14; Matt. 1:18; Acts 4:12; Eph. 1:1-14; 2 Cor. 5:21).
Salvation
For the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential (Rom. 3:23, 5:8, 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9; Tit. 3:4-7).
Ministry of the Holy Spirit
In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (John 14:26; 16:7-15; Acts 1:5, 8; 2:1-40; Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 12:4-13).
Resurrection
In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost (Dan. 12:2; 1 Cor. 15:51-53). They that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation (1 Thes. 4:13-18; Rev. 19, 20:11-15).
Spiritual Unity of All Believers
In the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Eph. 1:22-23, 5:23-33; 1 Cor. 12:12-28).
