Value 1. We Believe All People Are Made In His Image.
All people, regardless of background, matter to God. Therefore they matter to us; so much that we will uphold God's agenda over our own for their sakes.
Luke 15
Value 2. We Believe There Is Equal Balance Of Truth and Grace.

Value 3. We Believe The Bible as Our Authority.
The Bible is our only basis for our faith. Divinely inspired, it contains all truth by God's direction, and through understanding, will transform the lives of individuals and the church.
2 Timothy 3:14-17
Value 4. We Believe Being Culturally Relevant Is Vital.
Our methods and styles may be different than they were even five years ago, but our message remains the same, "Only in Christ do we have Life". Following the example of Jesus, we will meet people on common grounds, while staying true to the scriptures.
1Corinthians 9:19-23, Isaiah 61:1-4

Nothing is hidden from God, and living in accordance to His Word, we will eliminate false motives. People dont care how much you know, until they know how much you care.
Hebrews 10:19-25

The Bible's standards for those in leadership will be adheared to. Leaders will exercise their spiritual gifts according to their individual purpose with intention to strengthen and encourage the church body.
