What we believe
In the triune GOD – the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit
Jesus Christ is true GOD and true man
The Holy Spirit is a Divine Person
The Old and New Testaments are GOD’s divinely inspired words
All have sinned and come short of the Glory of GOD and are in need of salvation
Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men
It is the will of GOD that every believer be filled with the Holy Spirit
Healing is provided in the redemptive work of Christ and is available to every believer
The church consists of all those who have received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior
There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust
In the personal, visible, imminent return of Jesus Christ
In water baptism and observance of the Lord’s Supper

Mission
We exist to Bring Faith to Life!
Make the Word (faith) come alive to an unbeliever to see why they need Christ in their life. Reaching them where they are.
To elevate the life of the believer to where the words and stories come off of the pages of the Bible and we apply them in our daily life.
Realizing that you are not stuck where you are.

- Love means I don’t turn my nose up at you if you don’t look and act like me.
- I don’t treat you how I feel, I treat you according to the word of God
6) Growth Minded
- We don’t maintain we multiply; ongoing growth
- We don’t look at our longevity of being in the word to think that we are there. We have not arrived, we are always striving to learn more and to go higher.
- We will never insult God with Small Thinking
7) Results Minded
- Intentional about everything we do
- We don’t do things just to do it, we do it with the intent of getting results

- Win a battle, celebrate
9) Have a Teachable Attitude
- We eat the fish and leave the bones
- Take the good out of every situation and leave the negative behind
- We don’t walk around complaining and haughty as if we got it all together.
- We don’t look down on others, because they have not been in church as long as we have. We need each other and can learn from each other
10) We take action
- We are contributors, not consumers
- Producers not consumers. Faith to life!
- Faith without works is dead! We don’t sit on our gifts
- We take the gospel to our community, not waiting for them to come to us
11) Prayer is not a toolkit for broken down situations
- We pray daily
- Trust God with all of our heart and lean not to our own understanding
