We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. The belief in the total authority, veracity, and sufficiency of God’s Word is at the core of our church. Therefore, we value equipping ourselves in God’s Word. We want to know it and be transformed by it. We work hard at listening to it and joyfully submitting our entire lives to it.

The gospel, or good news, is the message of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection for our salvation and God’s glory. We believe that the gospel is God’s power to transform those who believe in Jesus. Therefore, we value sharing the gospel through both word and deed to bear witness to the gospel’s transforming work.

We believe that Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth. Jesus is God’s king and he deserves our allegiance and praise. We seek to submit ourselves to his rule and reign.

We believe the Bible shows us that family goes beyond blood relations. We belong to a faith family that consists of those pursuing Christ together. Whether young or old, married or single, parents or without children, we believe we are enriched by each individual, regardless of relationship status.

Because we have experienced God’s mercy, we desire to extend God’s mercy to others, particularly those in need. We want to see the love of Jesus extended to our neighbors by offering physical, emotional, and spiritual relief to those around us.

Our community is brought together by the reconciling work of Jesus Christ. This enables us to value diversity. We believe that racial, cultural, and socio-economic diversity strengthens, enhances, and enriches our faith community.

While common thinking places a high value on strength, our church is learning to live in weakness. Why? Because when we are weak, we are actually strong. You may call it the irony of weakness. God is drawn to humble and reliant people, so we value prayer and dependency on the Holy Spirit rather than self-dependency.
