Our mission is simple but transformative, rooted in Jesus' greatest commands and the Great Commission. Everything we do flows from these three foundational commitments:
We believe loving God is our first and greatest calling. This means worshipping Him with our whole hearts, studying His Word, and seeking His will in everything we do. When we gather for worship, small groups, or prayer, we're creating space to encounter God and grow in our relationship with Him. Loving God isn't just a Sunday activity—it's a way of life that shapes how we work, serve, and relate to others throughout the week.
Jesus called us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and we take this seriously. We strive to create a welcoming community where everyone—regardless of background, life stage, or spiritual journey—can find acceptance and belonging. Love in action means caring for one another's needs, celebrating together, and extending grace in difficult times. It also means reaching beyond our church walls to serve our community and demonstrate God's love to those who need it most.
Making disciples is about more than just inviting people to church—it's about walking alongside others as we all grow in faith together. We believe spiritual growth happens best in relationship, through mentoring, small groups, and serving together. Whether someone is taking their first steps toward faith or has been following Jesus for decades, we're committed to helping each person discover their gifts, deepen their faith, and find their unique role in God's kingdom.
The God we worship is perfect, supreme, and creator. He exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is eternal and unchanging, existing before time began. His love for us is evident through His mercy, justice, and wisdom.
Jesus is completely God, yet also completely human. He is an equal with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. While on earth, Jesus lived a perfect life. Jesus began a ministry that eventually led to the cross. He healed the sick, redeemed the lost, and loved the forgotten. We wish to model our lives after his perfect example. Jesus eventually died on the cross for the sins of all mankind, and his bodily resurrection defeated death and sin forever.
The Holy Spirit is equal with both the Son and the Father. The Spirit indwells all believers and fills them with God’s wisdom. The Spirit gives gifts to believers and works through the Church in a mysterious way. The Spirit can be seen as a helper, advocate, and a force that radically changes human beings to serve God’s will.
The Bible is the divinely inspired and authoritative Word of God. Although written with human hands, the Holy Spirit divinely ordained the physical, written Word of God. Scripture is where people understand who God is, what He has done for us, and what He commands of us. Scripture is infallible and perfect due to the divine intervention of God’s Holy Spirit.
Our Church is directed by God’s holy and perfect scriptures.
People are the jewel of God’s creation. In the days of creation, after every created thing, God only made the clarification that people were “very” good. We are the only part of creation that was intentionally created to reflect the image of God. As image bearers of our Lord, we are to reflect the goodness of God to others and bring God’s kingdom to this earth.
People are directly influenced by the fall of Adam and Eve in respect to the original sin in the Garden of Eden. Due to this, we need redemption and grace from Jesus’s sacrifice on the Cross. With that need, we are called fervently back to God and He wants us to be in relationship with him.
God has given mankind the gift and opportunity for eternal salvation. Due to our sinful natures and the act of sin, division and rebellion was created between mankind and God. We cannot hope to achieve salvation by our own works, perceived goodness, or even by being a part of a church. Salvation is the freely given gift from God, and the act of Jesus Christ dying on the cross. The Father’s mercy, Jesus’s perfect sacrifice, and the Holy Spirit dwelling within us delivers salvation. It is our faith in this truth, sealed in the confession of Baptism, that God freely gives us salvation with open arms. Through all of this, and mankind following the call of the Holy Spirit, one receives salvation
The Church is the body of Christ. The Church is made up of imperfect people. Anyone who confesses that Jesus Christ is their Lord is a part of the global Church. The Church being the body of Christ means that everyone in this definition helps make the Church operate with gifts and talents that are given to them from the Holy Spirit. The Church is intended to use these gifts, such as teaching, leadership, mission work, and physical work, to spread the Gospel and build up God’s Kingdom here on earth.
Humanity has two natures: a fully earthly body and a fully spiritual soul. While on earth, our bodies will eat, sleep, and live. When our bodies give up our soul, we have an eternal destination our souls go to. Heaven and Hell are both realities for the human soul. While Hell was not created for mankind, our willful rebellion can lead to that being our eternal destination. Faithful obedience and submission to God’s will leads to our salvation, as echoed from above.
It ultimately is God’s mercy and gift of salvation from Jesus dying on the cross that we eventually will get to live with Him in Heaven for all of eternity.
Biblical marriage is of one man and one woman under the leadership of Christ. They live in submission to one another, as they both are under submission to Christ Jesus. God intended in marriage for a man and a woman to leave their families to create a new family. Any sexual interaction outside of this model is not how God designed it.
