We exist to see people far from God pursue life to the fullest through Jesus.
We are most committed to the preaching of Jesus. Our message is everything. We are Jesus’ people, not religious people. Methods will come and go, yet our message will remain the same.
Our heart is ALL people. Jesus loves all people. We make no apologies for being specifically focused on reaching the lost. We desire to bring the broken home at all costs. We believe that our light is best seen in the night. John 4:20-21
Everything we say, we say it with love. We apologize first. We forgive. We do not carry offenses or fail to be gracious even with those we disagree. God is love and we pursue His nature by loving first.
Worship shifts our focus from ourselves to God. Romans 12:1
Generosity is about giving more than what is required We see generosity as a privilege. We are generous with our time, talents, and treasure. We cannot out give God.
We’re going to always do the best with what we have. We are on time, engaged, and prepared. We do not do things halfway. If we’re going to do it, it’s to the best of our ability. Proverbs 3:8
From the beginning of time, God used creative means to communicate with His people. If God communicates creativity, we will, too. It is our way of life. We challenge the status quo.
1 Corinthians 12:12-31
We make every moment count. The best days are not our yesterdays. The best is yet to come.
We keep it real, fight against fake, and embrace how God made each of us unique. Not only does this foster diversity, but it also helps build trust. When we are free to be our authentic selves, we are freed from the constraints of being someone we are not. 1 Timothy 1:5
We are stronger together than we are as individuals. We will accept and grow from one another’s differences. Psalms 133:1; John 11:20-23
God
There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is equal with the Father. 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 rose 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 of Kings and Lord of Lords. Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-15; 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
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He is avaiable to every believer. This immersion into Spirit-led living provides the Christian with the power to live a fruitful (fruit of the spirit), victorious life, understanding of spiritual truth, and boldness (the work of ther Holy Spirit) in sharing the good news with others. There are also many spiritual gifts that are availble for the body of Christ. As Christians, we seek to live under His daily control.
2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13; 14:16-17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12; 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25
Revelation
God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the holy Scriptures, and through all of creation itself.
Mankind
Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.
The Fall
When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.
Salvation
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.
The Church
The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Resurrection
Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
