OUR MISSION 

Our mission is simple: Love God, Love People, and Make disciples of Jesus.

We accomplish this mission by inviting everyone to Belong to Community, Believe the Good News, and Become like Jesus. 

About Us

We are a group of people whose primary identity is being children of the living God. All of us have sinned and fallen short of God's glory, but we have found new life and freedom from sin through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Together, we live life and serve our neighbors who tend to be overlooked in society. Jesus said, "Whatever you do unto the least of these, you do unto me" (Matthew 25:40).



Together, we worship our Lord by giving our entire selves to him.  All that we are, all that we possess, and all that we can do is a gift from God, given to accomplish his purpose in the world through us.



We have been sent by Jesus to proclaim the good news that Jesus has forgiven our past sins, set us free from the power of sin today, and has made it possible to live free from  sin by the power of the Holy Spirit.  

 

What We Believe

JESUS - Has existed forever, Is God in human flesh, Sent from the Father into the world, Born of a virgin, Lived without sin, Died by Roman crucifixion, Physically rose from the dead, Ascended into heaven, Sits at the right hand of the Father, Fulfilled all messianic prophecy, Will return to reign forever.



BIBLE - True, Completely trustworthy, Final authority, Written by man in the wisdom and power of the Holy Spirit.



TRINITY - One God exists forever in perfect community as three persons—God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit.



HUMANITY - The crown of God's good creation, Bears the image and likeness of God, Free to choose, Free to love, Free to sin, Sinful because of Adam, In need of a savior, Redeemed because of Jesus Christ, Capable to be made like Jesus by the grace of God.



SALVATION - Sin is the default condition of all humanity. Death is the result of sin. No one can be do enough good works to be saved from death. God is holy, pure, and righteous. Humanity is unholy, impure, and unrighteous. But God in his grace and mercy gave us his Son, Jesus, to die and rise from the dead, paying the debt of our sin and freeing us from the law of sin and death. Salvation is by grace, not by works, so that no man can boast. Works are the fruit of following and obeying Christ in faith.

We invite everyone to BELONG to community, BELIEVE the Good News, and BECOME like Jesus.
