Our Mission Statement

 We are a ministry where our desire is to honor our Lord Jesus Christ as we strive together to follow His Word, preach His Gospel, and encourage others to live in His grace.  

Our Values

This list is not exhaustive for the Word of God is our basis for our faith, doctrines, practices and morality.

  1.  We value the Preeminence of God in everything we are and do.

  2.  We value the Precepts, God’s Word, as the infallible foundation of our doctrine and work. The Bible is our final authority for life and living.  It is the foundation for all that we believe and do.

  3.  We value the Provision of Salvation as the free gift of God to all who will believe and repent.  There is no salvation except through Jesus Christ. 

  4.  We value Prayer as the essential catalyst to God’s power on this ministry.

  5.  We value the Place, the Church, where people can grow in grace.  It is here where Christians will also find fellowship with other believers.

  6.  We value the Purpose of the Church:  to evangelize, baptize, and train believers in the truths of God’s Word.  This purpose begins in our community but must also be extended to a global focus by the support and involvement in world missions.
 
  7.  We value Preaching as the means God has chosen to declare the Gospel and the doctrines of His Word.

  8.  We value our Privilege to worship God.  Recognizing our position before God will cause us to bow before the Lord in submission (worship) and will free us to recognize the Lord for His goodness (praise).

  9.  We value Purity in the lives of those genuinely redeemed (Holiness).

10.  We value Principles of Morality.  
       -  We believe that all men are created equal before God, with the same spiritual needs.
       -  We believe that God has commanded all mankind to believe on Him and worship Him only.
       -  We believe in the sanctity of life and that life begins at conception. 
       -  We believe Christians should live honestly in their business, work, and all aspects of their life.
       -  We believe that God created the world in six literal days and reject man's theories of evolution.
       -  We believe in the sanctity of marriage as being permanent in God's eyes and is to only be according to         
          Biblical standards.  

       -  We believe that we can love those that do not agree with us, without condoning or accepting the violations of             God's Law and our Biblically held convictions.  We further disavow that disagreement is equal to hatred. 
       -  We believe that God will forgive sin and accept those that come to Him with sincerity. Furthermore, we believe
          that the Church should be compassionate while living in the Truth.
       -  Where possible, we believe the Church should be involved in the community as we do the work of the Gospel.
       -  We believe Christians should strive to live in a way pleasing to God and surrendered to Him.
