Our Values

  • The Bible is inspired, eternal and true.

    Helping people know and love the Bible will be a hallmark of our church. We will delight in its ancient and unchanging truth.

  • Jesus is for all people.

    The gospel breaks barriers of race, age and gender, and so will we. We will celebrate the uniqueness and diversity of Christ's body by loving and valuing one another.

  • We are passionate about healthy families.

    When we develop beautiful marriages and partner with parents, we will strengthen our region and raise up the next generation.

  • Life in the Spirit is a journey.

    Whether through multiple steps over a lifetime or in a miraculous moment, we will be awake to the ways the Holy Spirit is transforming people.

  • Authenticity marks true community.

    Vulnerability precedes change and anonymity is the enemy of real belonging. We will model and encourage the risk of revealing what we want to mask.

  • Spiritual growth happens intentionally.

    No one moves to maturity by accident. We will create comprehensive pathways for discipleship.

  • Serving is a passion and a privilege.

    We are contributors, not consumers. We will be relentless in serving within and beyond our walls.
