Core Values Expanded

CONNECTING TO GOD:

·        Bible Centered (God has connected with man). The Scriptures are God’s inspired communication to man.  We teach them as the authority for our beliefs and daily living.

·        Prayer (Connecting with God).  As our Father, God invites and instructs His children to communicate with Him through prayer.  We seek to make prayer a part of our individual and corporate lifestyle.

·        Praise & Worship (Connecting with God).  God is man’s Object of worship.  Corporate worship should engage the heart, mind, and will; and lead the worshiper into personal communion with God.  It is a means for expressing our love, commitment, desires and faith in Him.

·        Discipleship & Equipping Members.  (Connecting with God and serving Him.)  God desires every Christian to grow in Christlikeness, and He gifts every Christian to be an active participant in His church.  We seek to provide a pathway for spiritual growth for all ages, and to help equip each person for his unique service to the church and to others.  

CONNECTING TO ONE ANOTHER:

·        Fellowship & Community (Connecting with one another).  Those who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior become part of a special community, the family of God.  We promote healthy, loving relationships with one another—demonstrating the reality of God’s reconciliation. 

CONNECTING TO COMMUNITY:

·        Evangelism & Serving our Community (Connecting with the unchurched).  God has commissioned the church to tell the whole world about His salvation through Jesus Christ.  We seek to share this good news with our community, start new churches in other communities, and to support like-minded missions in taking the Gospel to other parts of the world.  We also promote neighborhood events and activities, which support community and family stability.
