WHAT WE BELIEVE

Statement of Faith
We affirm the Holy Bible as the inspired, inerrant Word of God, and as the only basis for our beliefs, faith and practice. The Church accepts The Baptist Faith and Message in its most recent form as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention, as a general statement of faith.

 Vision Statement
To Know Him and To Make Him Known
Through faith in Jesus alone for salvation (John 14:6), we can know God and glorify Him as the satisfaction of our souls. God has called His church to be used of Him to share the gospel of Jesus, make disciples, and advance His Kingdom by building His church for His glory and salvation of the lost (Matthew 28:18-20).

Mission Statement
Believe, Belong, Become
We seek to provide an environment that encourages people to fully Believe in God through the Lord Jesus Christ, to then Belong in a meaningful way to the family of God through a small group of the local church, and Become a maturing disciple engaged in mission and ministry as God has gifted them. This mission will be communicated as Believe, Belong, and Become.

Purpose of the Church
We believe that Scripture reveals that this is the purpose of the church, to glorify God by obeying the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), by fulfilling the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40) and practicing the Great Compassion (Matthew 25:34-40) in accordance with the following principles:

WORSHIP – “To participate in public worship services together and to maintain personal daily devotions.” (John 4:24)

• EVANGELISM – “To share the good news of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible in our community and throughout the world.”  (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; 2 Peter 3:9)
• MINISTRY/MISSIONS – “To serve unselfishly in Jesus’ name, meeting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those in our Church, community and in the world.” (1 Peter 4:10-11; Matthew 25:34-40; 1 Thessalonians 5:11; Galatians 5:13)
• DISCIPLESHIP – “To help members develop toward full Christian maturity and train them for effective ministry. To promote personal spiritual growth and discipleship through Bible teaching.”  (Ephesians 4:11-14; Matthew 18:20; 2 Timothy 2:1-2)
• FELLOWSHIP – “To encourage, support and pray for each other as members of the family of God. To share our   lives together.” (1 John 1:7; Acts 2:44-47; Hebrews 10:23-25; Romans 15:5-7; John 13: 34-35)
