Our Mission:

We are a multi-generational, biblically-based church reaching and equipping people to live a missional, Christ-centered life together.

Our Core Beliefs:

Non-negotiable characteristics we want to see develop in a Christ follower's life.

LOVING GOD Worshiping God as a lifestyle. Living the great commandment (Mark 12:30): "love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength."
LOVING OTHERS Living the great commandment, part two (Mark 12:31): "love your neighbor as yourself." Being patient and kind toward others; not jealous, boastful, proud or rude; not demanding our way or being irritable; keeping no record of wrongs; not reveling when others grovel; loving the truth; never giving up on others (1 Corinthians 13:4-6).
MATURING IN CHRIST-LIKE CHARACTER Eager to learn. Evidence of the Holy Spirit's control: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).
