We are committed to being people who will daily seek to be more like Him, committed to bringing his Lordship to bear on every aspect of our daily lives, and committed to protecting the image and name of Jesus Christ wherever our daily lives lead us.

We believe that God desires His people to pray and that He hears and answers prayer. Therefore, the ministries and activities of this church will be characterized by a reliance on prayer in their conception, planning, and execution.

We value what God values—the souls of human beings. Beginning in our community and stretching to the far reaches of the world, we will stress through our words and our works the importance of evangelism and the Great Commission. Through our compassionate support of world missions we will work to provide for the physical needs of people with the goal of introducing them to Christ and salvation.

We believe that the church needs godly leadership to act as examples to all and trainers and mentors for others aspiring to leadership. We will hold our leaders accountable to their task.

We believe that the Spirit-filled fellowship, coming together as one, acts as an encouraging, uplifting, and necessary family of faith. We believe the church to be the primary source of accountability of its members as the vehicle for sharing and meeting the needs of its members.
