Our Vision & Values

To raise up a great and influential church that clearly exhibits life the way God intended it – the life we could never deserve – enjoyed from the place of His grace.

The Things We Value and Practice

• We value biblical authority and its application
  We are committed to the clear and accurate communication of God’s Word in a way that ministers grace and urges obedience.
  2 Timothy 3:16,17; James 1:22

• We value honest, heartfelt, passionate praise and adoring worship
  We are committed to becoming the kind of people the Father is seeking. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.
  John 4:23,24

• We value prayerfulness
  We believe that God desires his people to pray and that he hears and answers prayer. Prayer changes people – and changed people change things. We are committed to bathing our lives and activities with prayer with the understanding that nothing significant or lasting occurs apart from it.
  Matthew 7:7-11; James 5:13-18

• We value the power of God’s presence
  We are committed to the continuation of the rich heritage of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit enjoyed by the church since its beginning.
  Ephesians 5:18; 1 Corinthians 12:31a; Romans 8:12-14

• We value the opportunity to win others to Christ and disciple them
  We are committed to the worldwide expansion of the Kingdom of God. We believe that God desires for us to reach as many as possible with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. It is our intention to fulfill the Great Commission in our generation.
  Matthew 28:18-20; Ephesians 4:12

• We value gracious generosity
  We are committed to living out the dynamic spirit of the cross through selfless, sacrificial, and liberal acts of giving. We believe that it is not only an act of worship but our responsibility to bring tithes and offerings from our substance and freely give ourselves in service to others.
  2 Corinthians 8:7-15; 2 Corinthians 9:6-8; Malachi 3:10

• We value unity and teamwork
  We are committed to serving God with oneness of purpose and singleness of heart, pursuing life-changing relationships with those gifted by God to lead us and with one another in the church. We hold the sincere conviction that Christ cannot be faithfully represented to others by a strife-ridden and divided church.
  1 Corinthians 1:10,13; 1 Corinthians 12:27; Heb. 13:17; Romans 12:10
