jesus
is our lead story
In fact, Jesus is our only story. We will intentionally stray away from any soapbox that detracts from fixing our eyes on Jesus.
faith
is our Mo
We walk by faith and not by sight. God is for us and we believe anything is possible.
people
are our passion
We believe we exist to meet people where they are and love them from where they are. Our passion is to find those far from God and love them into a relationship with Jesus
diversity
is our strength
We don't tolerate our differences, we celebrate them. Our church is a picture of heaven's demographic and everyone is welcome.
humility
is our pursuit
We believe God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. We operate from the mindset “be humble or be humbled”.
authenticity
is our approach
We believe in practicing what we preach. We're far from perfect, but we strive to lead with integrity and transparency.
generosity
is our response
Giving back is the only proper response to the goodness of God in our lives. We will live out extravagant generosity toward others in a way that accelerates Kingdom growth.
FUN
is how we function
We work hard and we play hard! We believe church should be an experience people look forward to.
BELIEFS
In all our Beliefs, we show the love of God. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
(I Corinthians 13:2 NIV)
About God: God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and are one God.
Genesis 1:1,26,27, 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14
01
About Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is coequal with the Father and Holy Spirit. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will return again someday to earth to reign as King.
Matthew 1:22,23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13
02
About the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is coequal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer spiritual gifts when they are saved. As Christians we seek to live under His control daily. We believe in the post-salvation experience of Spirit Baptism. We believe the church should operate in the fullness of the Spirit as the first century church did in the book of Acts.
Acts 1:8; 2, 4, 8, 10, 19; 2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16-17; Galatians 5:25; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13, 5:18
03
About the Bible: The Bible is God's Word to us. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs about living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without error.
2 Timothy 3:16, 1:13, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Psalm 119:105, 160, 12:6, Proverbs 30:5
04
About Human Beings: People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin”. Sin separates us from God and causes many problems in our life.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1-2
05
About Salvation: Salvation is God’s free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6, 1:2; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1, 10:9-10
06
About Eternity: People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life in Heaven. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence.
John 3:16, 14:17; Romans 6:23 , 8:17-18; Revelation 20:15; 1 Corinthians 2:7-9
