10 Core Values

1. Acceptance:
We believe that God is love and looks not on the outward appearance, but on the heart. In our quest to be Christlike, we shall treat all who enter our church with respect, dignity, and love. 1Sam. 16:7; John 13:35
2. Prayer:
We believe the power of open communication with our God is the foundation of our relationship with Christ and through Him all things are possible. Matt. 21:22 Isa 56:7 II Chron. 6:35
3. Christ/Bible Centered:
We believe that God is Creator and Redeemer/Savior and these things are revealed through his Holy Scripture and His example. This is the basis for all of our actions and beliefs. Eph. 2:20 Matt. 4:4 John 14:6
4. Fellowship:
We believe that meeting together in worship, as well as in social settings, is essential to strengthening our relationship with each other and with God. Acts 2:42 1 Cor. 1:9 I John 1:3 II Cor 13:14 Heb. 10:25
5. Evangelism:
We have a passion for the lost and we will reach out in creative and relevant ways to those in our community. Matt 28:19 Ez 34:16 Matt 10:6 Luke 15:7 Luke 19:10
6. Encouragement:
We believe our walk with God is enhanced by the support of other believers. We will be intentional in seeking ways to encourage each one in the body of Christ. Phil: 2:1, 2
7. Worship:
We believe God is worthy of worship. He calls us to separate ourselves from the world to express our love and devotion to Him on the seventh day, His holy Sabbath. Ex 20:8 Rev 14:7 Ps 9:1,2 Rev. 4:11
8. Ownership by all:
We believe everyone's individual talents coming together can enhance our worship experience. Everyone is invited to actively participate in the worship service and all activities of the church.
1 Cor 12:12-24
9. Children are valued:
We believe that children are part of the kingdom of God and the church is responsible for their inclusion and spiritual growth. Matt. 19:14 Prov 22:6
10. Creativity:
We believe that creativity is an intrinsic attribute of God. Since we are made in His image, we also need to use our God given creativity to reach the world. Gen. 1:1
