Beliefs & Values

What We Believe

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, and therefore is the final authority on all matters of doctrine and life.

We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things, existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is the only ever-present, all-knowing, all-powerful, self-existent One. He is completely holy and He is love.

We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sin, was raised from the dead for our justification, and is seated at the right hand of the Father interceding for us.

We believe that salvation is by the grace of God, through faith in Christ. All who believe in Him have eternal life.

We believe all those who trust in Christ for salvation are baptized by the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ (the Church) and should be baptized in water as an outward sign of the inward work.

We believe in the infilling of the Holy Spirit empowering believers for Christian living and service.

We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfill our role in the Church and serve the community in which we live.

We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and prosperous lives in order to help others more effectively.

We believe in the resurrection of the dead, and a literal heaven and hell.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again, just as He promised.

We believe in: Unity for all things essential; Liberty for all things non-essential; and Love in all things.

What We Value

These are our guiding principles, our non-negotiables. They describe the culture that we as a family of believers embrace; the internal character we have chosen to demonstrate. They describe how we are, as we pursue our shared mission together.

1. COURAGEOUS HOPE

God is a God of Hope: “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11

2. AUDACIOUS FAITH

A simple, childlike faith in God and His promises that refuses to quit.

3. RELENTLESS LOVE

The love of God knows no end – that is the way we choose to love God, one another and our city.

4. EXTRAVAGANT GIVING

God gave extravagantly, when He gave His son Jesus for our salvation – that is our aim in our giving.

5. UNBRIDLED SERVING

We believe our highest calling is to serve our fellow man with the love of God.
