Beliefs

We are committed to relevant Bible teaching. We are committed to equipping all people through the teaching of God's Word, to follow Christ and be empowered by the Holy Spirit in every sphere of life.

We are committed to prayer. We believe that prayer is at the heart of all ministry. All of the ministries of the church are dependent upon prayer for its conception, development and implementation.

We are committed to small groups. Through small groups, people are discipled by forming relationships that last, growing in relationships with God, and learning to reach out to new people in their sphere of relationships.

We are committed to outreach. The Scriptures specifically call us to reach out to those around us, and throughout the world to bring the good news to all. We believe that God has called us to minister to the whole person, caring for the social, relational, physical, and spiritual needs of individuals.

We are committed to worship that is creative, relevant and participative. Recognizing God's desire to have a renewed church, we believe that worship should be creative and fresh, embracing and affirming the things God is doing today in the life of His church. We believe God has not called us to be spectators, but people who involve themselves in acts of praise and adoration. We believe that all worship is under the direction of the Holy Spirit and welcome all authentic manifestations of His ministry among us.
 
We are committed to helping people identify and develop their spiritual gifts. We believe the Bible teaches that God has called all of His church to be in ministry one to the other and to the world. We are committed to developing effective lay leadership and lay ministry.

We are committed to the restoration and renewal of the church. We believe that God is always seeking to renew His church. In Revelation 3:20, we hear Jesus say: "Behold I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and eat with him and he with me." We recognize that these words were written to the church. In keeping with the words of Jesus, we seek to restore the fallen, to heal the hurting, and to proclaim God's message of grace and restoration to His church.
