Our Vision

To help people grow life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church.

 

Our Values

These Value statements describe the core beliefs that shape how we function.

  1. The Gospel - Every person has a right to a presentation of the gospel at his or her level of understanding.
     
  2. The Word of God - Every person needs a moral compass to guide and protect him or her throughout life - The Word of God is sufficient for that purpose.
     
  3. The Body of Christ - Every believer has unique gifts to be developed and used to strengthen the church.
     
  4. The Global Mission of the Church - Every believer has a purpose in advancing the global mission of the Church of Jesus Christ.
     
  5. Unity in the Body/Church - We value unity in the operation of the body of Christ.  We believe that unity is accomplished by the Holy Spirit of God and is manifested through the outworking of the gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit.

  9. Giving to and by the Church - We value compassionate and generous giving of natural and spiritual resources both individually and collectively.
     
  10. Prayer - We value prayer as a divine resource for maintaining individual fellowship with Jesus Christ and empowerment for service, and as a God-ordained means of accessing the power of God.
