Our purpose is To Know Him
& Make Him Known
Reach the lost. Disciple the found. Empower the called.
Our Core Values
Culture is a result of lived-out behaviors driven by what we value. These 12 values are our DNA and permeate everything we say and do. They shape and keep a Kingdom culture in our House, unifying us as we Know Him & Make Him Known.
We Say Yes. Whatever He says to us, we do it, even if it defies conventional wisdom or logic. Saying yes to God will always bring into manifestation His unlimited possibilities and provisions. We have a spirit of faith and take bold steps understanding with God ALL THINGS are possible. (John 2:1-10; Numbers 13:25-30; Matthew 19:26)
We Never Forget. We never forget where we came from. But God! He reached down and used someone to bring us to a new life in Christ. We remember how we were reached and so we reach beyond the four walls for others. We know our love for people is a direct reflection of our love for God. (Ephesians 2:4-7; Matthew 22:37-40; Matthew 25:35-40)
No Trash Talk. We love unity because God commands His blessing there. We know that life and death are in the power of the tongue. We are strife free and will aggressively defend our unity. We say only good things about others and give no place to the enemy. (James 3:16; Proverbs 17:14; 1 Corinthians 13)
We Are the Church. The church is not a pastor, it's a people. We are a team and everyone helps out. Being the church is not a spectator sport, everyone gets in the game and uses their gifts to build up the body of Christ and advance the Kingdom of God. We get to serve! (1 Corinthians 10:31; Ephesians 4:11-16; Hebrews 6:10; 2 Corinthians 5:19-20)
For His Honor. We don’t do anything half-hearted. Everything we do is an act of worship and honor to God. We give Him our first and our best. Excellence in big things and little details honors God. We are watchful to never let what we do for Him become familiar. (Dan 5:14; 1 Corinthians 10:31; 2 Tim 2:20-21; 1 Samuel 2:30; Psalms 29:2)
We Are A Healthy Family. Family is the heartbeat of God and it’s our heartbeat too. Every age is vital to a healthy family so we stay connected and do life together. Our love for others is greater than our expectations of them. We celebrate and honor the gifts that God has given us in each other. We are strong because love and joy defines this family! (Ephesians 2:19; Philippians 2:3; Galatians 5:13)
We Pray. Prayer is not a religious act, it is placing our trust in God, above anything or anyone else. Prayer positions us for divine perspective concerning the tasks at hand. Through prayer we partner with the power of God to bring the purposes of God into the earth. (Matthew 6:9-10; 1 John 5:14-15; Mark 11:22-25; Isaiah 40:3-5)
Generosity Defines Us. We are generous like our Father. Our generosity is a response to, and reflection of, Him. We joyfully give of ourselves (time, talents and money.) He has blessed us in every way so that we can be generous in every way to advance the Gospel. (Matthew 6:19-33; 2 Corinthians 9:8-12; Acts 14:17)
We Gather All the More. The Church is not a building but it is an assembly. We do not neglect or avoid worshipping together. We understand the purpose of gathering is to be equipped and strengthened to be sent into the world. We gather all the more because we see the day approaching. (Hebrews 10:24-25; Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Corinthians 12:14-26; Psalms 122:1)
The Bible Is Our Standard. Culture changes but God’s Word remains the same. Reading, believing and acting upon God’s Word is our standard for living and how we experience spiritual growth. We position ourselves under the Lordship of Jesus and His Word. We choose to make the Word of God final authority in our lives. (Isaiah 40:8; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Signs Follow. Miracles didn’t stop with Jesus. He said signs would follow those who believe. We believe and speak God's Word boldly, expecting Him to move. There is no person or situation beyond His ability to heal and restore. We declare Jesus is Lord! (1 Corinthians 2:4-5; Mark 16:17-18; Matthew 4:23)
Driven By Eternity. We know real satisfaction in life only comes when we keep Him first. We spend our time building His Church, building up His people, advancing His kingdom, doing the work of the ministry and doing it with our whole heart. (Psalms 90:12; Matthew 6:33; Ephesians 5:16)
We Never Forget. We never forget where we came from. But God! He reached down and used someone to bring us to a new life in Christ. We remember how we were reached and so we reach beyond the four walls for others. We know our love for people is a direct reflection of our love for God. (Ephesians 2:4-7; Matthew 22:37-40; Matthew 25:35-40)

What We Believe
- We believe in one God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Creator of all things.
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died, was buried, was resurrected, ascended into heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father.
- We believe the Bible in its entirety to be the inspired Word of God and the infallible rule of faith and conduct.
- We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the eternal happiness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost.
- We believe in personal salvation of believers through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and that He is the ONLY way of salvation.
- We believe in sanctification through the Word of God and by the Holy Spirit, and we believe in personal holiness and purity of life.
- We believe in divine healing, through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, and that healing is included in the finished work of Calvary.
- We believe in water baptism, in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit as distinct from the New Birth, in speaking with tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance, (Acts 2:4), in the gifts of the Spirit, and the evidence of the fruit of the Spirit. We believe that all of these are available to all believers.
- We believe in the Christian’s hope – the soon coming personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
