OUR VALUES

The life and teachings of Jesus, his priorities, habits and promises. We strive to know and follow him.

Worship as we come together regularly to praise, thank and petition God through song, prayer and offering, to confess our failures and to receive His good news of forgiveness, hope and healing.

Personal Ministry as the contribution each person brings to our community through that person’s unique gifts and individual calling.

Balance as we seek to provide time and place for all things needful in a rhythm of prayer, study, work and play.

Excellence that honors God and inspires people.

To KNOW Christ, we value:

The Bible as the inspired primary source of information about God and Jesus. We read and hear it regularly, meditate on it, inquire and study it with others.

Gifted teachers who can lead us deeply into the Word.

The lives of disciples from all ages and cultures of the church

To SHARE Christ, we value:

Relevance as through careful listening to our contemporary society, we seek to apply gospel truth to the pressing needs of today in ways that modern men and women understand. We welcome strangers.

Fellowship and Support through the sharing of a meal, an athletic event, a joke or a good laugh, sorrow and tears, celebrations, disappointments, successes and failures, hands on help, recognition, approval and gratitude - all the emotions and events that make up being a family … the family of God.

To SERVE Christ, we value:

Stewardship through the wise use of our abilities, wisdom, time and money in the active promotion of the gospel, the good of others and the causes of God in our community and world.
