We believe that the goal of personal spiritual growth is to know Jesus and to be like Him. Therefore, we will seek to continually grow in our personal relationship with God through spiritual disciplines and the pursuit of holiness.
3. Obedience to the Bible
We believe the Bible is God's holy word. Jesus said, "If you love me, you will obey what I command." (John 14:15). Therefore, we will teach and obey the whole Bible.
4. The Transformational Power of the Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is active today, empowering us to become more like Jesus.
5. Healthy Relationships (community)
We believe in pursuing healthy relationships with one another because Jesus calls us to love others as He loves us.
6. Anointed Ministry
We believe that the Holy Spirit gifts and empowers us for ministry. Therefore, we will live in the power of the Holy Spirit and follow Jesus wherever he leads.
7. Incarnational Ministry
We want to be like Jesus. We want to be his hands and feet in this world by caring for those others disregard and bringing health and healing to a broken, hurting, and hopeless world.
8. World Evangelization
We believe in making disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything Jesus has commanded (Matthew 28:18-20).
