GOD’S WORD

2 Tim 3:16 - “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness…”

We believe that God’s Word is infallible and sufficient for all things. We seek to know, obey, and live out His Word as we look to it for our source of truth and guidance.

CONTROLLED BY CHRIST’S LOVE

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 - “For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for Him who for their sake died and was raised.”

We believe that Christ’s love is the compelling motivation of our lives and believe that His love leads us to follow Him and no longer live for self.

DEPENDANT PRAYER

Ephesians 3:20 - “Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,”

We are reliant on God for all things and are dependent on His power to work among us and through us. We know that through prayer God can accomplish a work beyond what we can ask or imagine.

REACHING THE LOST

Matt 9:36-38 - “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”

Because the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few, we seek to labor among the lost to see new believers raised up to follow Christ.

LIFE ON LIFE DISCIPLESHIP

2 Timothy 2:2 - “and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.”

As we establish and equip a new generation of believers, we desire to see a multiplying movement of God spread from person to person, campus to campus, and nation to nation.

COMMITTED TO THE LOCAL CHURCH 

Ephesians 1:22 - “And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church,”

The local church is Christ’s body on earth. We are committed to being a part of the local church in order to worship and serve Him. We submit ourselves to the leadership of the church and seek to be held accountable by it.

DEVELOPING LEADERS

Mark 10:43-45 - “But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

We value the development of leaders who, by the power of the Spirit, seek to lay down their lives for the benefit of others just as Jesus did.
