Our Values
Gospel
The Good News of Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection from the grave “for you” is the foundation for everything. It is our salvation, joy, peace and life. In Christ, we have been reborn, our sins have been forgiven, we’ve been given a new identity and eternal life.
Community
Through the proclamation of His Gospel, God is at work to unite all of us together in one Body – the Church. Now, we share these blessings and this new identity together through faith. Our union with Christ is the basis for fellowship with God and with each other.
Mission
God uses this unified and redeemed community – the church – in His mission to draw others to Himself and to renew our broken world. We are commissioned to make disciples of all people by proclaiming the Gospel. We want everyone to believe, grow and hope in Jesus.

Our Core Beliefs
The Bible
We believe the Bible to be the inspired and infallible Word of God, the only rule of faith and practice.
God
We believe in one God existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They are the same in substance, co-equal in power and glory, and eternal.
Sin
We believe that man was created in innocence, but sinned in Adam, and is now totally unable to remedy his sinful condition.
The Gospel
We believe in the good news of Jesus Christ, who lived the life we failed to live, died the death we deserved to die and rose again to give us new life in Him. All who repent of sin and believe in Christ are saved.
Grace
We believe that salvation is the free gift of God, apart from works or merit, and received by faith in Jesus Christ alone, whose blood was shed on the cross for the forgiveness of sins.
Eternity
We believe in the eternal salvation of all who believe the Gospel and the eternal judgment of all who reject Jesus Christ.
The Sacraments
We believe that Christ has ordained the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper to be observed until He comes. In them, God impresses on our hearts and bodies the truths and realities of the Gospel, to be received by faith.
The Church’s Mission
We believe that the greatest mission of God’s people is to make disciples of all people, everywhere.
The Apostles Creed
maker of heaven and earth,
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into Hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into Heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in God the Holy Spirit,
the holy Christian church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
The New City Catechism
The catechism is a tool that has helped a countless number of Christians learn and express the faith. This simple question and answer method is helpful for children and adults alike as they seek to learn, understand and communicate key doctrines of Christianity. We believe that the truths in The New City Catechism accurately express the truths of the Bible. We pray that this tool will allow you to believe, grow and hope in Jesus.
