OUR MISSION
Our mission comes directly from Matthew 28:19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. As a body of believers, we desire to love like Jesus and live in obedience to this command through our church and in the community.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to reach the unchurched by equipping and releasing people, who love Jesus passionately, into the community to engage with people, desiring to see them find faith in Jesus.
OUR VALUES
Fellowship - we believe that community among Christ-followers facilitates encouragement, prayer, edification, and accountability.
Generosity - we desire to be a body of believers who give willingly, cheerfully, and liberally of our time, talents, and resources.
Engagement - the body of Christ has many different parts working together to make the whole. Everyone has an important role to play in furthering the Gospel. We can achieve more together than working independently of one another.
Expansion - we want to go, to reach outside of our church walls to the community and the world. As we go, we desire to multiply believers, leaders, disciple makers, and churches.

FOUNDATIONS
ONE GOD
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and are one God.
THE SON
Jesus Christ is God's Son. He was born of a virgin as both God and man. He lived a sinless life, died to atone for the sins of all people, arose from the dead after three days, ascended into heaven, and will literally return to earth someday.
HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. As Christians, we seek to live under His conrol daily.
BIBLE
The Bible is God's Holy Word, without error, and is the sole authority for life.
ETERNITY
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
CHURCH
The Church is a local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head.
BAPTISIM
Baptism is by immersion after salvation and is done in obedience to Jesus Christ's command.
