Knowing Christ, Living for Christ, Sharing Christ…that’s our mission.
In seeking to fulfill this mission, we especially emphasize…
- The Bible – the only inerrant and authoritative Word of God
- Salvation – a free gift for those who repent of their sins and believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior
- Worship – praising God with reverence and joy and boldly proclaiming God’s Word
- Obedience – following God’s will for our lives
- Prayer – thanking and praising God, drawing near to God, and seeking God’s help for one another
- Reaching Out – using what God has given to us to show His love to others in practical ways
- Witnessing – spreading the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ
