OUR MISSION
“We hereby covenant and engage ... to give up ourselves unto the Lord ... to unite together into one body for the public worship of God, looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of ... our Savior Jesus ...”
WE TRY TO FULFILL
Our Important Values
Evangelical
As a body of believers, we uphold the centrality and exclusivity of the gospel. We believe that Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate, is the only way of salvation and that the Bible is the inspired and inerrant scripture Word of God.
Congregational
We believe Christ has vested the authority of his church in the members of the local congregation, especially as they are called to serve the community.
Our goals are to: live our daily lives in the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ and joyfully follow Him.
Community
Over 16 ministries are currently represented at our church. The Ministry promotes the diverse and cosmopolitan character of our church, in order that we might increasingly become a house of prayer for all who seek Him.
