Our Core Values:
We believe that the cross of Jesus Christ is the central message of the New Testament and the clearest picture of God’s great love for all people.
We believe that all people matter to God. Jesus Christ died for the sins of all people and desires that all people receive his salvation by faith. Jesus calls us to love all people and do good to those with whom we have opportunity.
We believe that vibrant worship and faithful celebration of the sacraments of Holy Baptism and Holy Communion in the context of Christian community are the means by which God feeds his people’s souls and nurtures his church.
We believe that building loving relationships centered in Jesus Christ is key to spiritual growth, Christian nurture and evangelism.
We believe that Christ’s followers should be deployed in ministry according to their spiritual gifts; leaders should lead, teachers should teach, etc., all with a heart of servanthood.
We believe that Christ’s church should be culturally relevant while remaining doctrinally pure.
We believe that all of Christ’s followers should manifest authenticity and yearn for continuous growth.
We believe that it is important to accept each other just as we are—we want to help all people to grow in God’s grace.
We believe that we are called to be good stewards of what God has given us—our families, children, senior citizens, buildings and resources.
We believe that excellence glorifies God and inspires people.
