What We Believe

Worship

 

A lifestyle of closeness and communion with Jesus seven days a week.  In our gatherings, much emphasis is given to the development of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

The Bible

 

Is the absolute authority for all that we do. Therefore, we give plenty of time to the teaching of it.  Knowing the Bible is not an end in itself, however, Jesus emphasized the doing of God's Word. 

Grace

 

God’s unmerited favor toward us.  We want our church to be one in which people live by this grace, discover the rest and relative ease of it, and spread its peaceful effect to others. 

Love

 

Experiencing the love of God will lead people to His forgiveness, salvation, healing, and wholeness.
