The Ministry of the Word
God is glorified through the preached Word and through the public reading of scripture. Our desire is to glorify God through God and Christ centered preaching and by clearly explaining God’s redemptive work through Christ as it is explained in the Bible.
Disciple Making
God is glorified when his followers mature and enter into service in God's kingdom and reproduce that maturity in others. Every disciple should make disciples. We are delivered, we are developed, and then we are deployed.
Prayer
God is glorified when the church prays, when the ministries of the church are driven and fueled by the prayers of the saints. Churches that pray take risks because they expect big things from God. We desire to cherish and nurture corporate prayer, small group prayer, and individual prayer because we are, in actuality, dependent upon God for everything. We want to be known in the community as a praying church.
Missions
God is glorified when the gospel breaks boundaries, locally and internationally. We are committed to seeing the unchurched in our community and around the world hear about the good news of Jesus Christ. We are committed to supporting foreign missions, exposing people to missions through short term missions trips, the sending of missionaries from within our congregation, and partnering with foreign nationals to plant churches.
Authentic Worship
God is glorified when his people worship him authentically by engaging God on his terms, not ours. Authentic worship has two components. It is spirit filled and truth filled. We desire to be a church that balances both.
Biblical Fellowship
God is glorified when his people are engaged relationally with one another. We are committed to building a community of believers as an expression of our communion with God. Biblical fellowship, one spirit communing with another spirit through Christ, always requires three things: the word of God, worship and prayer. We believe it is impossible to be a healthy, maturing Christian and be isolated from people. We are committed to fighting the radical individualism of our culture and to building a united fellowship under Christ.
Building Families
God is glorified through strong and healthy marriages and families. We are committed to preventing divorce and caring for families who have suffered through a divorce. We value children and are committed to children’s ministries. We desire to equip parents to raise godly children.
