Our Core Values
As a member of God’s family, we hold in unity the following core values:
A Commitment to Prayer – We believe that prayer is a fundamental demonstration of worship and dependence on the Lord. The ministries and activities of our church will be characterized by prayer in their conception, planning and execution.
A Commitment to Biblical Leadership – We believe that the Biblical mandate for leadership is a plurality of shepherd elders and deacons who oversee, lead, and care for our church. The leaders strive to shepherd the flock following the Biblical pattern, and to be involved in developing future leaders for our church.
A Commitment to Biblical Worship – We believe that our worship service is to focus on God and not on man. Our goal is to provide a positive balance of content and experience rooted in an un-pressured, casual, and reverent atmosphere. Week to combine the best of traditional and contemporary styles and appeal to all ages.
A Commitment to Biblical Exposition – We believe the most effective way to carry out the discipleship ministry of the believer is through preaching and teaching God’s Word at all levels. We are committed to expository preaching that is true to the biblical text and in touch with the needs of our day.
A Commitment to Authentic Community – Programs don’t love people, people do. We are committed to developing caring relationships, devotion to one another, sharing needs, accountability among peers, and extending mercy to the hurting. We believe that the small group ministry is the most effective means of building relationships, stimulating growth, and developing leaders.
A Commitment to Evangelism that is Personal and Global – Lost people matter to God, and ought to matter to the church. Most lost people need a friend who will love them rather than someone who will condemn them. We are committed to encouraging every believer to be involved in relational, lifestyle evangelism. Further, missions are our constant outward focus.
A Commitment to our Children and Youth Ministries – We believe that the future of the church rests in the hands of our children. We see the building of a strong children’s and youth ministry as a means of assisting parents in the raising of young people who will walk faithfully with Jesus and make an impact for Him in their generation.
A Commitment to Lay Ministry – We believe that the primary responsibility of the leadership is to prepare God’s people for the work of ministry. We seek to encourage lay initiation, leadership, and responsibility in the various ministries of the church.
