Our Core Values
Word-centered
We believe that the Bible is our sufficient guide for all of life. This means that the teaching of Scripture will impact every area of our church. When we open the Bible, we will seek to carefully apply the truths by understanding the context and intent of the author. In our worship gatherings, we are committed to going through Scripture verse by verse and book by book to understand what God has said. This is often referred to as expository preaching. When problems and difficulties arise within our church body, we will go to Scripture for answers on how to address the problems of life in a world broken by sin.
Loving People
We welcome everyone to accept the life-transforming gospel of Jesus Christ regardless of their background or sins that they struggle with. We are all sinners who need God’s grace, and Jesus offers salvation to all who repent and believe in his work on their behalf. When we accept his free gift of salvation, his Holy Spirit uses his Word to empower us to grow and change. We are committed to helping each other to reject sin and become more like Jesus every day.
Glorifying God
Our greatest purpose in life is to glorify God by enjoying him forever. All of our other values must support this purpose. In all that we do as a church, our aim must be that we direct glory to God, not us. This will directly impact how we worship and all other aspects of church life.
