God Exalting.

WHO WE WORSHIP is the most important thing about our body of believers. We serve the triune God revealed in the Bible, and we seek to honor Him by loving, glorifying, and enjoying Him. We aspire to have all our thoughts and actions proceed from a properly aligned exaltation of the Living God. Exalting God should be the aim of everything we do.

Deuteronomy 6:4-5; Isaiah 45:5-7; Isaiah 6:1-8; I John 4:7-9; John 1:1-5; Ephesians 3:21; Hebrews 1:3; Romans 8:11; Ephesians 4:11-13; Colossians 1:15-18; 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12; Philippians 3:17, 4:9; 1 Corinthians 10:31

Gospel Living.

HOW WE RELATE to the world around us, our friends, family, and fellow believers is guided by the Gospel, which has and is transforming us from sinners to saints. We know God through His son Jesus, and we depend on Him to live out His gospel in our lives. We practice the one-another’s of Scripture to the glory of God and the encouragement of those around us. We utilize church membership and a simple church model to live out our faith in God together as a local church. 

Acts 2:42, Jer 29:4-7, Eccles 12:13,  Micah 6:6-8; Eph 4:1-3 11-16, 25-32; 5:25-28; 6:1-19; Heb. 3:13; 10:24-25; Col. 3:12-17; Phil 2:3-4; Rom. 1:12; 12:9-16; Gal. 6:1-3, 10; 1 Thess. 5:11,14-18; Matt. 18:15–17; John 13:14, 34, 14:9; I Pet. 3:8; I John 3:17-18; 5:1-3

Holistic Disciple Making.

HOW WE ENGAGE in the important process of disciple making is by approaching it holistically. This type of disciple making is intentional about helping one another love and live for Jesus by sharing the Gospel with non-believers, growing together in Gospel living, helping one another mature in Christ, and by training one another for the work of the ministry. This happens in many different contexts and includes both corporate gatherings as well as intentional relationships.

Matthew 28:18-20; Ephesians 4:11-16; Colossians 1:28-29; Colossians 3:16-17; 1 Corinthians 11:1; Romans 12:3; Hebrews 10:23-25; Hebrews 13:7; Jude 20-21; 1 Thess. 2:8; Romans 1:16; Acts 2:46-47; 2 Corinthians 5:20-21; John 15:14-15; Luke 14:26-29; Hebrews 6:1; John 13:34-35: Acts 4:13; John 13:14-15

Generous Giving.

HOW WE STEWARD our time, treasure, and talents demonstrates that we own nothing, but that everything belongs to God. We hold the things of this world loosely as we look forward to those things which endure forever. We intentionally seek to develop pastors, plant and revitalize churches and equip disciples who will be sent out from our local church. We are committed to missions, both locally and around the world. 

1 Chronicles 16:24; Psalm 96:3; Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8; Acts; Romans 10:13, 14; Ephesians 4:11-16; 2 Corinthians 8:1-15; Titus 1:5

Biblical Teaching & Preaching.

HOW WE COMMUNICATE the whole counsel of God is by preaching and teaching His Word - the Bible. We believe that the Holy Spirit uses God’s revealed Word to transform hearts and minds, establish and strengthen believers, and form obedient people who reflect His glory. Therefore, the Bible is central in our worship gatherings, Sunday school, small groups, discipleship groups, kids and student ministries, and counseling.
