• Living in the Grace of God

  • We value living in God's grace. Without it, life is not worth living. We seek to demonstrate this gift of grace to everyone we meet.

  • Ephesians 2:8-9 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast."

  • Titus 2:11-12 "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say 'No' to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,…"
     

• Preaching and Power of the Gospel

  • We value the gospel and are witnesses of its life-changing power. We desire to live and share the gospel, and spread it throughout the world in obedience to the Great Commission.

  • Romans 1:16-17 "I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: 'The righteous will live by faith.' "

  • II Timothy 1:9-10 "…This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel."
     

• Love in Relationships

  • We value loving God and man. We exult in God's love for us, and the privilege of reflecting His love to others in obedience to the Great Commandment.

  • John 15:12-13 "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."

  • Ephesians 4:2 "Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love."

  • Romans 15:7 "Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God."
     

• Heartfelt Worship

  • We value worshipping the One Eternal God, for out of worship flows His goodness and our transformation into the likeness of His Son.

  • Psalm 100:2 "Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs."

  • John 4:24 "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."
     

• Prayer and Intercession

  • We value private, corporate, and intercessory prayer. It is our lifeline to God, and the key to our relationship with Him.

  • Ephesians 6:18 "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."

  • James 5:16 "…The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."
     

• Doctrine Based on Scripture

  • We value truth, and believe that God's word is truth. Scripture is the foundation of sound biblical doctrine.

  • II Timothy 3:16-17 "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

  • Titus 2:1 "You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine."
     

• Selfless Service

  • We value selfless service following Jesus' example, knowing we are making a difference for the Kingdom of God.

  • Matthew 20:27-28 "…and whoever wants to be first must be your slave--just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

  • Romans 12:1 "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship."

  • I Peter 4:10 "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms."
     

• Generous Giving

  • We value the joy that comes from giving our time, talent, and treasure for the benefit of others and the expansion of God's Kingdom.

  • Acts 20:35 "In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.' "

  • Luke 6:38 "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
