Our Core Values

Biblical Authority
God has spoken to us through the Bible and we recognize it as the final authority for our lives. We are committed to communicating God's Word in a way that ministers grace and urges obedience. (2 Timoty 3:16-17)

Intimacy with God
God created us and loves us deeply.  Through Jesus we are able to have a personal relationship with God.  Our love for Him grows as we daily fellowship with God through prayer, listen to Him through His Word and live as He commands. (Mark 12:30, John 17:3)

Strengthening Families
The first relational structure God established was the family.  Our commitment is to build strong nurturing families that will pass on a legacy of faith in Jesus Christ for generations to come. (Ephesians 5:31 – 6:4)

Authentic and Loving Relationships
God created us to have meaningful relationships and love each other.  Our lives will be enriched and others will be drawn to Christ as we invest time getting to know each other, meeting needs, being vulnerable and accountable.
(John 15:12; Acts 2:42-46)

Inviting Others to Follow Jesus
The forgiveness of sin and life God gives us in Christ lasts forever!  This good news is too wonderful for us to keep to ourselves and is most effectively shared through personal relationships. (2 Corinthians 5:20-21)

Serving Joyfully
Jesus came to serve and has entrusted His followers with spiritual gifts so that every member can minister for the common good of the body, which we believe is most effective in a team environment.
(Mark 10:45; 1 Cor. 12:4-7; 1 Peter 4:10)

Equipping Every Believer to Mature in Christ
The pursuit of full devotion to Christ and His cause is normal for every believer.  Therefore, we will intentionally nurture every believer toward becoming more like Christ in his or her character and priorities.
(Ephesians 4:12-13; Matthew 6:33)

Multiply
Jesus told his followers to keep passing on to others what He had taught them.  Therefore, God’s plan for growing His eternal family all over the world is that maturing believers would keep helping other’s know and follow Jesus Christ.
(2 Timothy 2:2; Acts 1:8)
