Values & Vision

We Value:

  • God’s Word
    “Your word[, O Lord,] is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path” Psalm 119:105

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

  • Life-span Learning
    “[Remember] how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.” 2 Timothy 3:15

  • Missions
    Jesus told His disciples, “...repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations…” Luke 24:46-48

  • Evangelism
    “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” 1 Peter 3:15

  • Stewardship
    “Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” 1 Corinthians 12:27


God's Vision For Us:

We will be a Christian congregation firmly grounded in the Scriptures that:

  • Recognizes that faith formation begins in the home; thus we will teach, train, mentor and equip people to be faithful teachers of self and family at home.

  • Encourages people to be faithful and generous stewards of the blessings which the Lord has bestowed upon them.

  • Has as the central focus of all that happens—worship, meetings, classes—the inerrant, infallible Word of God.

  • Worships together, sharing in the fellowship of faith, but also encouraging others to join us in receiving God’s grace.

  • Grows in a servant attitude, recognizing the call the Lord has given us and the needs of the people around us.

  • Recognizes our role in sharing the Gospel with the people in our midst and in supporting mission work around the world.

By God’s grace and with His blessing, this will be done.
