ABOUT US
We are a community of believers dedicated to sharing the grace and truth of Jesus Christ. Our mission is to provide a welcoming space for individuals and families to grow in faith and connect with one another. We strive to make a positive impact in our local and global communities through the proclamation of the gospel of grace. Join us on this journey of faith and growth.
REFORMED
The “Five Solas” are Latin phrases created during the Reformation of the 1500s. We believe that these phrases are still helpful to the church today as we articulate our core beliefs to the world.
Sola Gratia - We are saved by grace alone
Sola Fide - Through faith alone
Solus Christus - In Christ alone
Soli Deo Gloria - To the glory of God alone
Sola Scripture - By the authority of Scripture alone
BAPTIST
We are first and foremost disciples of Jesus Christ and are saved by His grace alone. Being a Baptist simply means that we hold to certain biblical teaching that makes us distinct from other Christian traditions, including, but not limited to:
-
The supremacy of Jesus Christ as both Lord and Savior.
-
Meaningful church membership with members who have been “born again”.
-
The beautifully symbolic act of baptizing only people who have professed faith in Jesus Christ.
-
The independence of the local church.
-
Congregational church government.
-
The separation of church and state.
EVANGELICAL
Four historic tenets of the Christian faith make us Evangelical:
1. We believe in the absolute necessity of being “born-again”.
2. We have a high view of the Bible as the inspired, infallible Word of God.
3. We are gospel-centered. We focus on the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ in all that we do.
4. We are intentional about making disciples of Jesus Christ from all nations.
BY GRACE, WE STRIVE TO BE...
Biblical rather than Pragmatic
We will give ourselves wholeheartedly to God’s Word and methods, rather than rely on popular trends, thoughts and opinions.
People focused, not Program focused
We will intentionally focus our time on equipping
people to do the work of the ministry, rather than spending the majority of our time on planning ministry programs to do the ministry for us.
​
Create a culture of Evangelism
We are a base of ministry, not simply a place of ministry. Instead of only ministering to people who come to us, our approach is to equip people to take the gospel out into the world in which they live, work, and play.
​
Simple rather than Complex
We don’t want people to spend all of their time at church programs or church wide activities; instead we want to free them up to make disciples in their homes and neighborhoods. We also believe that a simple model is much more reproducible as we strive to train leaders and plant churches.
​
Depth rather than Width
We will measure success by whether or not people are maturing as disciples of Jesus Christ, not based on quantifiable numbers such as worship service attendance or small group attendance.
​
Multiplication rather than Addition
Our desire is to be a multiplying community of disciples who intentionally seeks to plant biblical churches throughout our area and beyond, rather than simply adding more and more to one church.
​
Sacrificial rather than Comfortable
We want to sacrifice our resources, time, and even our lives for the sake of the glory of Christ.
