Our Focus is on the Jesus, God's Word, His grace, love, and hope
 
Our Vision
Our vision is best described as that of "His backside."  Our eyes firmly fixed on Him to follow the leading of the Lord, rooted in the Word of God, closely pursuing Him under the direction and power of the Holy Spirit to carry out the mission He has entrusted to us. 
 
Our Mission 
To be a body of believers committed to and striving to be the Body of Christ, a visible representation of Christ in this world.  It is our intent to edify, equip, train, and lead that Body to fulfill the commission of our Lord to reach the lost, preach the gospel, make disciples, and baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
 
Our Statement of Faith (What We Believe)

We realize that we are on a spiritual journey striving to "walk in the light" when it comes to our understanding of timeless truth. We must always be acutely aware that as human instruments, we are subject to limited comprehension. As such, we desire to continually seek greater light that better aligns us to Scripture and brings correction to our finite knowledge.  In other words, we are still learning and relying on God as He shapes us into what He wants us to be.

We embrace the entire Bible as the infallible, inspired Word of God for our rule of faith and we strive to practice all the biblical doctrines as taught in the New Testament, though, we have listed some here that may be helpful to believers seeking to mature in Christ Jesus:

  • We accept the Bible as God’s Holy Word, inspired, inerrant, and infallible.
  • We believe the Bible to be God’s written revelation of Himself to mankind and our guide in all matters of faith and life; therefore, we look to the Bible as our highest authority for doctrine, practice, thought, discipline, and organization.
  • We are firm in our commitment to the orthodox Christian beliefs:
    • We believe that there is one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
    • We believe in the deity of Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, the physical miracles He performed, His atoning death upon the Cross, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory at His second coming.
  • We profess that justification through Jesus Christ, and He only, is essential for the salvation of sinful mankind.  We believe the sinner is brought to an awareness of the need for salvation through the convicting work of the Holy Spirit.
  • We practice water baptism as a public profession for the believer and as a representation of the believer’s identity with the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord
  • We believe that in initial and on-going sanctification by the blood of Christ, one is made holy.
  • We believe in the baptism and the present, active ministry of the Holy Spirit who guides us and by whose indwelling manifests the full gifts given to believers.
  • We believe in signs following believers. Because of spiritual gifts and the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit, miraculous signs and wonders, including divine healing, tongues, and interpretation may accompany the works and ministries of true believers. 
  • We believe in the oneness and ultimate unity of believers for which our Lord prayed in John 17.
  • We are committed to the sanctity of the marriage bond between one man and one woman and the importance of strong, loving Christian families.
  • We believe in the sanctity of human life, including that of the unborn.
  • We practice tithing and giving.
