Our Beliefs

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • One God

    One God: There is one God who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 5:48; Matthew 28:19)

  • Jesus Christ

    Jesus Christ is true God and true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, died on the cross for our sins, rose from the dead, and is now at the right hand of God (Philippians 2:6-11; Luke 1:34-38; 1 Peter 3:18; Acts 2:23-24; Hebrews 8:1).

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Holy Spirit is a divine person sent to dwell, guide, teach, empower the believer, and convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 14:15-18; John 16:13; Acts 1:8; John 16:7-11).

  • The Bible

    The Old and New Testaments are inerrant as originally given, verbally inspired by God, and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of humanity. They are the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice (2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 3:15-16).

  • Humanity

    Humans were originally created in the image and likeness of God but fell through disobedience, incurring both physical and spiritual death. All humans are born with a sinful nature and can be saved only through the atoning work of Jesus Christ (Genesis 1:27; Romans 3:23; 1 Corinthians 15:20-23; Revelation 21:8).

  • Salvation

    Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all people. Those who repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become children of God (Titus 3:4-7).

  • Sanctification

    It is God's will that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly, resulting in a life dedicated to God and separated from sin (1 Thessalonians 5:23; Acts 1:8; Romans 6:1-14).

  • Healing

    Provision is made in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures (Matthew 8:16-17; James 5:13-16).

  • The Church

    The Church consists of all who believe in Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Church, which is commissioned to preach the gospel to all nations (Ephesians 1:22-23; Matthew 28:19-20).

  • Second Coming

    The second coming of Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal, visible, and premillennial. This hope is a vital truth that encourages holy living and faithful service (Hebrews 10:37; Luke 21:27; Titus 2:11-14).

  • **The Fourfold Gospel**

    This distinct emphasis includes Jesus Christ as our Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King. This concept forms our theological foundation and spiritual DNA. Christ Our Savior: His sacrificial death and Resurrection as the Atonement for the sins of humankind (Acts 4:12). Christ Our Sanctifier: We are daily cleansed from sin by the power of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 1:30). Christ Our Healer: We are privileged to anoint the sick for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing (James 5:15). Christ Our Coming King: His coming will be a visible, personal appearance: "You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven" (Mark 14:62).

  • Dependence on the Holy Spirit

    Believers are encouraged to live a life empowered by the Holy Spirit, emphasizing the Spirit's role in guiding, teaching, and empowering Christians for service and holy living (Acts 1:8; John 16:13).

  • Christ-Centered

    We focus on the supremacy of Jesus Christ in all aspects of life, encouraging believers to surrender fully to Him, which is essential for spiritual transformation and effective ministry (Colossians 1:18).

  • Kingdom of God

    We teach that Jesus' Kingdom is both a present reality and a future hope. Believers are called to work towards establishing God's kingdom on earth through acts of love, justice, and mercy, reflecting the values of the coming Kingdom (Matthew 6:10).

Who We Are

Together we are a community of believers. What does that mean, the word community? We believe that together in fellowship we grow closer to God and one another. The bible speaks about iron sharpening iron. We believe that together we grow stronger. We are a community of believers.


We strive to be a church without walls. Jesus calls for us to go outside the walls to reach the lost and the broken. It is there that the lost will be found. Most churches find it is comfortable to stay within the walls, but we make it an effort to be like the church from the book of Acts, to see our city changed.


We highly value our relationships with one another. We look to grow through fellowship, and ultimately growing closer to God. We value the word of God, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We look to extend grace to all of the lost and broken, and lead those with no hope to the hope of Jesus Christ.


Mission & Vision

Our Mission:


We are a community trained and sent to bring the light of Christ into the world beginning with our neighbors.

Our mission is about what we are here for and for whom - bring the light of Christ into the world.

Matthew 28:16-20


Our Vision:


To see the homes and families in our community transformed into the image of Christ

Our vision is about something we desire to achieve in the future. God has burdened us for the breakdown of the family in our culture. We also believe God has equipped us to own the lostness in this specific area and bring kingdom presence into the arena of homes and families.
