We believe all people are created to be in loving, personal relationship with God, through Jesus Christ.
We believe every follower of Jesus is on a "mission", wherein their unique gifts, passion, abilities, personality, and experiences have eternal applications today.
We believe that God's primary solution to all life issues is Church. God’s design is: each person called into Conversion, Confession, and then Church family.
We believe being nurtured in Christ happens best in small groups. Authenticity and accountability are essential to spiritual and relational growth.
We believe the chief end of church is to worship God.
We believe the church must be culturally relevant while remaining doctrinally pure.
We believe anointed, corporate worship and Biblical teaching are catalysts for life transformation, which is holiness (“holiness” is a result of being in the presence of God).
We believe the local church must respond to its surrounding community’s needs. We should be a positive community presence.
We believe in the priority, necessity, responsibility, and awesome privilege of prayer, both privately and corporately.
We believe God has a plan for family. The church must therefore, nurture family and respond to all areas and stages of family life.
We believe the local church is to be led by those called and gifted with leadership. The leadership should be committed to the supremacy of Christ and fully committed to the gifting and empowering of the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the final authority of the Bible with its personal application to our lives.
We believe the local church is part of the "universal" church. We therefore, participate in home and cross-cultural mission. |
