With Gods leading, we will endeavor to:
Support the churches and local ministers in our area and abroad. Facilitate the life-changing, transforming power of the Gospel resulting in Christ-centered disciples living and ministering in their community to reach those without Christ in their natural spheres of influence. Minister effectively in a way that clearly reflects the diversity of the people we seek to reach in our community. Encourage and exhort all in the Body of Christ to continue to grow in fellowship with our Lord, and influence their world for Christ.
MISSION Meet the needs of the community by being the hands and feet of the Lord, and thereby optimize opportunities to minister the love of Christ and ultimately make and develop disciples. Essentials to this are:
Discipling people to trust and obey Christ. Patterning ourselves after the example of Christ who met and accepted individuals right where they were in life. He met the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of those around Him. God has called us to this holistic approach to develop the whole person. Engaging people in the Scriptures to discover Christ and apply His truth. Equipping disciples to reproduce the life of Christ in others.
We believe in the Scripture of the Old and New Testaments as inspired by God, and inerrant in the original writing, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.
We believe in one God, eternal existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, was born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.
We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned, and thereby incurred, not only physical death, but also the spiritual death which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.
We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate.
We believe in that blessed hope, the personal and imminent return of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
