Our Motto:
- Together we’re making a real difference… living for Christ in word, thought, and deed… in our church, our community, and our world (I Cor. 15:58)
Our Purpose & Mission:
- Loving intensely our God and our neighbor (Matt. 22:37-39)
- Connecting with our community and our world… by making disciples, dispensing the sacraments, abiding in Christ’s teachings, and proclaiming His glorious gospel (Matt. 28:18-19)
- Helping people come to Christ and to grow in Him in the sphere of His church, His Spirit, and His Word (Eph. 4:11-16)
Our Priorities:
- Exalting the Lord Jesus Christ in praise and worship
- Upholding a Christ-centered and purposeful service
- Teaching the whole counsel of God from the Scriptures alone
- Demonstrating Christian love, unity, and maturity
- Equipping all believers (both young and old) to flourish in ministry
- Exercising discipleship, prayer, holiness, and evangelism as exemplary Christian life styles
- Putting people first, not programs, personalities, or policies
Our Doctrine:
- The Trinity (one God in three distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)
- The full inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible contained in the Old and New Testament
- The Bible as the final authority of faith, morality, and practice
- Salvation by God’s grace alone in Christ alone through our faith alone
- The virgin birth of Jesus Christ
- The gospel: Jesus’ perfect life, vicarious death, and triumphant resurrection for our sins and right standing with God now and forever
- The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ as the central event of the gospel
- The inherent sinfulness of our human nature towards God and His ways
- The literal Second Coming of Jesus Christ for His church
- The reality of heaven and hell as the final places for those who either accept or reject Jesus Christ
