What We Believe
We believe that God is sovereign and that salvation can only be found in His Son, Jesus Christ, by grace through faith alone. We believe that salvation cannot be earned but rather, it is a gift from God.
Church Mission
We exist to glorify God and to advance His Kingdom by preaching the gospel and making disciples through inter-denominational and worldwide evangelism.
We will strive for excellence in ministry by preaching and teaching the whole council of God as revealed by the Holy Scriptures to a growing fellowing and beyond to impact the local community and the world. The worship of God will be in word, giving, and music. We will embrace diversity. All programs, services, and resources, will be used to enhance and to support the work of the ministry.
