What We Believe
We believe that men cannot save themselves. We are totally dependent on God through Christ for redemption from our sins and the promise of Heaven. We believe there is no room for Christian celebrity or popularity; our focus must always be directed toward Christ, not any man. We believe that while many Biblical concepts are open to varied interpretations, the Bible is God's Word to and for man, and that the Gospel it presents is true and unchanging. We believe that we should show Christ's love to all people without judgment or condemnation and without regard for any human frailties or strengths, successes or failures, and vices or virtues. We believe we should avoid any teaching that elevates one group of believers over another or makes one group less important than another. Following the example of Christ, we will make a specific effort to embrace and meet the needs of the poor, the homeless, and the rejected of our community.
Our Faith
We believe we are called to live by faith, to be recognized by love displayed to others and through the words of hope and inspiration that we share to those we encounter. It is our desire to be relevant to today's society through both worship and service opportunities.
Our Values
The essence of the church is that it is a community of people empowered by God on a mission striving to establish His reign on earth. We must not be confused with local businesses in our area whose goal is to meet the needs of individual consumers. We do not exist to market a product or provide a service amidst a free market. Instead, our efforts focus on engaging the culture in which we live and transforming it by lives incarnating the person of Jesus Christ. |
