Our Values
Our Mission & Values are simple: Love God, and Invest in People.
Relationships
We believe that we are better in community with each other, and we believe that it’s best when we rub elbows with other people. We prioritize fellowship, groups, and connecting people together.
Outreach
We believe we have the Best News of all, that Jesus rose from the dead and offers salvation to those who would receive him. We do that by sharing and and showing Christ. Whether it’s VBS, a Car Show, or an invite from a friend, we want to tell you about Jesus.
Worship
We believe that worship is the highest and best thing that we can do. It reflects our heart’s posture towards God. So we make it a point to sing, to pray, and to respond to God every Sunday.
Discipleship
We believe the Christian life is all about knowing, experiencing, and serving Jesus. So we make it a priority to help each other grow through small groups, elective class offerings, and meaningful service.
Our Beliefs
Our beliefs are consistent with our convictions and conscience as we seek to understand more about what God has instructed us in the Bible. For a detailed description of our beliefs, you can check out the Baptist Faith & Message.
