What is the foundation of our beliefs?
What do we hold most important?
What are we striving to accomplish and become through all that we do?
What is the atmosphere and attitude of our congregation?
The following are the Core Values that we hold most dear, and which characterize us as a Church.
HOLISTIC SCRIPTURE - God's Word guides all we do! The Bible is the ultimate source of authority in our lives. Because we believe this, we are committed to reading and studying God's Word daily, using it to form and guide our decision making, shape our worldview, and share its timeless wisdom and truth with others.
CONTAGIOUS COMMUNITY - Loving God by loving each other! God created us for community. To be in loving, God-honoring relationships with others. Therefore, we place a lot of value on doing life together and sharing in each other's joys and burdens.
PERSISTENT PRAYER - Seeking God all the time! We believe in the power of prayer and know God hears us when we pray. We exercise prayer in various forms - including prayer blankets for the sick and hurting, prayer at the altar during worship, a prayer room for special times of prayer, a prayer app for our smart phones to keep us all connected, and we include corporate prayer in all our services and small groups.
GRACIOUS GIVING - Giving of ourselves to the needs of others! We are a giving Church committed to giving God our Time, Talents, and Tithe as an act of worship. We are always looking for ways we can help and support those doing the work of the Church in our community and around the world. We also strive to compassionately help those in need.
