Values
We believe...
-
that people without Christ matter to God and therefore, ought to matter to us ~ Luke 15
-
that prayer makes a critical difference in all that we attempt ~ James 5
-
our movement should operate as a unified community of believers, faithfully exercising our spiritual gifts ~ Ephesians 4
-
that character is more important than talent and loving relationships should permeate every aspect of church life ~ 1 Cor. 13.
-
that accountability is essential to the maintenance of all that we stand for as Christ’s church ~ Hebrews 13
-
in our God-given call to our city as a community, to be uniquely who we are as a congregation, without comparison to what has been or what is presently being done in other congregations with reference to their approach to Christianity ~ 1 Peter 2
Vision

Build the church of Jesus Christ in a two-fold mission

To win the lost to a personal relationship with Him
-
To free the religiously bound, bringing them out of controlling & legalistic bonds

To birth new things that God is doing

God never changes & His message cannot be compromised, but His methods change
