We Believe...

1. That every person exists to worship and know God, that every person is precious to God as His creation and that every person was created with purpose to experience a full and abundant life through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

2. That God equips believers through the local church so that every person can find a tangible place of ministry in the body of Christ, that God blesses His followers so that they can bless others and that God fills and anoints His church so that they can proclaim and live the Gospel message.

3. That the greatest of the commandments is to love God and to love one another, that God demonstrated His love for us by dying on the cross for our sins, and that every person should have the opportunity to hear a clear presentation of this gospel message at least once .

We Believe that Ministry Exists...

1. To serve and glorify God in obedience to His commands, by lifting up His name, and by revealing His love to a lost and hurting world.

2. To meet the highest priority need of people to know Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior.

3. To meet the fundamental need of the human spirit to know that someone cares.

4. To encourage every person to find a tangible place of ministry in the body of Christ so that each part does its share.

5. To encourage the use of giftings and skills to fulfill a call through serving others.

6. To help others come to a place of wholeness through a relationship with Jesus Christ and by finding a place of service and ministry within His body.

3. Romans 12:4-6 - “For as we have many members in one body, but all members do not have the same function, so we being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them!
