Our Core Values

These core values keep us focused on our mission and express the biblical priorities that influence our decisions, plans, and programs as a church.

Biblical Authority

Christ said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God’” (Matt 4:4). Therefore, we study, teach, discuss, and apply what the Bible says as God's unchanging, life-changing message for us today.

Heartfelt Worship

Since Christ taught us to worship God "in spirit and truth" (John 4:24), we want to magnify God's goodness and greatness through reverent, vibrant worship together on Sunday and conscientious personal choices throughout the week which honor God's presence in our lives.

Close Relationships

Christ said, "Whoever does the will of God is my brother and my sister and mother” (Mark 3:35). This statement motivates us to draw together through the joys and struggles of life as a spiritual, intergenerational family who connects, spends time with, and mentors one another in all aspects of life.

Devoted Service

Christ insisted that he "did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). Following his example, we commit our resources, time, and abilities to accomplish our mission, believing that every member plays a vital role.

Compassionate Outreach

Knowing that Christ was frequently "moved with compassion" for people (Matt 6:34-42), we desire to share his love with the people around us by meeting their needs and - most importantly - introducing them to the good news of salvation from sin and the hope of eternal life.
