About Us

CORE VALUES

  • Prayer:  (1 Thessalonians 5:17) Prayer is our spiritual lifeline.  Individually and corporately, at home, at church services, in small groups and in all venues we rely upon communication with our Creator.
  • Christ-Centered Leadership:  Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, and our congregation leaders and individual members must utterly depend on Him. Jesus Himself set the ultimate example of servant-leadership and Christian leaders must lead through service and a focus on Jesus. Apart from Him we can do nothing. (John 15:1-8).
  • Fellowship:  (1 John 1:3, Matthew 22:36-40) Fellowship and meaningful, loving relationships with God and with our fellow human beings are essential.  We believe in accepting, caring for, serving and spending time with one another.  We value input from everyone and consider friendliness and fellowship to be hallmarks of our congregation.
  • Bible-Centered Teaching:  (2 Timothy 3:15-17) The Word of God must be the core of our teaching. Sermons and classes and small group studies must equip members to know, understand and apply scripture in our daily lives, and continually point to Jesus Christ, in whom we find salvation.  (1 Thessalonians 5:9).
  • Inspiring Worship:  (Psalm 100:1-3) we strive to make our worship services opportunities to lift up our hearts to God, to express our love to Him and to hear His Word proclaimed.  We celebrate our relationships with God, and we value variety in worship music--from traditional to contemporary.  We seek to have worship services which are uplifting experiences, and leave people feeling glad they came.

 

MISSION STATEMENT

To share the love of God and guide people into a committed relationship with Jesus Christ.

 

VISION STATEMENT

Our vision is to become a thriving ministry in which each member personally knows the one and only true God and Jesus Christ whom He sent. (John 17:3)   We will continue to grow as a loving, caring, praying congregation.  We envision a ministry in which each member feels free and motivated to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit in fulfilling the great commission.  We will encourage and inspire one another to individually serve as agents for transforming those in our spheres of influence through prayer and active love. 

We will all contribute to fulfilling our mission by: Sharing the good news of the love of God as revealed in the life, death and resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ; and guiding people into a committed relationship and personal friendship with Jesus Christ, resulting in true disciples and followers of our Lord who live and share the joy of their salvation with others.

To have all five-fold ministry gifts operating within the ministry signifying the cohesiveness of the Body of christ. To operate Apostolically by developing, licensing, ordaining and commissioning men & women of God as Apostles, Pastors, Prophets, Evangelists, and Teachers. To develop strong frontline prayer ministry to combat satanic powers in the realm of the spirit. To operate Apostolically & Internationally, to plant ministries birthed out of the God given vision in areas in needs of a refreshing.

As a ministry, we see the fulfillment of this vision as we prayerfully yield to the Holy Spirit, Whom we see directing us to focus especially on the following Key Result Areas:

 

Key Result Areas

  • Evangelism- We will passionately bring hope to unbelievers by sharing the good news of what God has done through Jesus Christ.  We will develop personal visions for a Christ-like environment wherever we go, and we will continue to develop as individuals who have a desire to pray for and with people.  As we actively live and share the gospel, God will use us as a catalyst in His transformation of the businesses, neighborhoods and civic leadership in our community. 

     

  • Sanctuary for the Hurting- We will be a comforting home for the broken-hearted, the frustrated and the hopeless.  We will become increasingly sensitive and attuned to the special needs of the hurting and follow-through with support.  As new people enter our doors we will welcome them and immediately begin the relationship-building process. 

     

  • Multiple Ministries-Our ministries will serve such specialty groups as Youth (Children and Teenagers), Singles, Men, Women, Young Adults and seniors.  These ministries will meet people's needs by providing opportunities for people to get together for fulfillment, spiritual guidance and fun, as well as being involved in outreach and praising God.   One of the most exciting ministries will be our special ministry to former members who are inactive. 

     

  • Close-Knit Members-Fellowship has always been a hallmark of our spiritual family.  Developing relationships will be more and more highly-esteemed.  Deep friendships will be built and grown.  We'll be an assembly where "people are there for you and you are there for other people." 

     

  • Training & Equipping-We will provide opportunities where all members can be trained, equipped and prepared for service to God and community and are free to launch their own personal ministries.  Among the ways this training will be provided is through Bible-centered sermons, Bible Classes,  Small Group Bible Studies, workshops, seminars and retreats. 

     

  • Small Groups- Our Small Groups ministry will eventually function as mini-congregations.   They will continue to provide growth-inspiring Bible study and intercessory prayer.  They will be a picture of people caring for each other physically and spiritually and being moved to do the same for the communities around them.  In essence, our Small Groups will become increasingly powerful vehicles for evangelism and discipleship. 

     

  • Worship-We will provide increasingly inspiring and exciting worship services where people sense that they are being led by the hand into the presence of God, and are moved to open their hearts to Him. 

     

  • Leadership-Godly, Christ-centered, Holy Spirit led-leadership is essential and will be further developed among our current and future leaders and the membership as a whole. 

     

  • Preaching & Teaching-Our sermons and Bible Classes will spring from sound hermeneutics and will result in inspiring Bible-centered exposition that is motivating and relevant to today's issues.  Jesus Christ will be honored at the heart of our teaching as the Savior of humankind and the Lord of our lives. 

     

  • Prayer-Prayer is the way everything will happen.  All things will be done through prayer.  We will be a congregation in which each member is looking for opportunities to pray for others and for the will of God to be accomplished wherever he or she goes.

 

Statement of Faith

  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 1st John 5:7
  • We believe that the Word of God was uniquely and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit. 2nd Timothy 3:16
  • We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His current intercession for the Saints and in His personal return in power and glory.
  • We believe that the salvation of man is wholly a work of God's free grace and is not the work, in whole or in part, of human works or goodness or religious ceremony. God imputes His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, and thereby justified them in His sight. Romans 10:9-10, Gals 2:16, Ephesians 2:8-10
  • We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to disciple men of every nation. The fulfillment of that Great Commission requires that all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated to a total commitment to "Him who loved us and gave Himself for us." Mark 16:15-2
  • We believe in the operation of the five-fold ministry gifts: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers and their necessity in the perfecting of the Body of Christ and that these ministry gifts are not limited to gender both male and female have heard and will continue to hear the call of God into ministry. Ephesians 4:11-12, Galatians 3:28, Acts 2:17-18, Acts 21:18-19
  • We believe in the fulfillment of the ordinances of the church which include: Lord's Supper (Communion), Feet Washing, and Bodily Baptism (Complete Immersion) not as a means of salvation but an outward sign of obedience. Mark 16:16, Luke 22:19, John 13:4-16, 1st Corinthians 11:23-34
  • We believe in the continued operation of spiritual gifts including but not limited to those outlined in 1st Corinthians 12.
  • We believe that at physical death the believer enters immediately into eternal fellowship with the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting glory and blessing. Luke 23:43, 1st Thessalonians 4:16
  • We believe in the Glorious and impending return of Jesus Christ to resurrect and rapture His Saints. We believe that as we have suffered with him we shall also reign with Him in Glory eternally. 1st Thessalonians 4:15-17, 2nd Timothy 2:11-13
  • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a victorious, overcoming life and, that the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is evidenced by the manifestation of the Gifts and Fruit of the Spirit. John 7:39, Acts 2:4, Galatians 5:22
