Core Values
Many people wonder what makes our church different or unique from all the other wonderful churches in our area. The answer is our Core Values. These values are convictions we hold to be important that describe how we behave, conduct ministry and treat each other. They don’t make us better, just different.
Grace-Filled
We feel that relationships are best nurtured in a transparent, safe environment. We all have a past that requires forgiveness and present issues that need the Holy Spirit’s strength to conform into the image of Christ. Therefore, we give permission for people to come just as they are, to be quick to forgive and work towards Christlikeness, and commit ourselves to a gossip-free environment.
Generation-Friendly
We value an intergenerational experience sharing the wisdom each age group provides. Therefore, we design ministry environments where all members of the family are well represented sharing the same ministry experiences.
Culturally-Relevant
We desire our ministries to reflect the idioms, culture and customs of our area. Therefore, we design our music, graphic arts and technology to be vibrant, energetic and consistent with current trends of our time.
Gospel-Centered
We are convinced that the power to change lives is only in the gospel. Therefore, our programs are simple yet reflect a high commitment to the gospel of Christ and to scripture. Each event, class or program has a specific intention and goal, helping people take the next step towards Christ.
Gift-Based
We believe that everyone is a “10” somewhere! God has gifted you to make a difference and encourage each other to work as hard as we can to develop them. Therefore, we discover our gifts, embrace our role, and work hard to serve Christ’s body.
Exegetical Preaching and Teaching
We firmly believe that scripture is totally sufficient for all matters of life and faith. Therefore, we our sermons, bible studies and curriculum will focus on a verse-by-verse approach through the books of the bible.
