We believe that a Christian grows most effectively as a whole person when they choose to belong or connect to a local church community where God’s unconditional love is fully emphasized and expressed.

We believe that the local church must actively disciple and assimilate new believers into the local church and that it is absolutely vital that they are given a combination of purposeful group Bible study and dedicated personal care

We believe that a Christian will most effectively experience the support and care for the total person that God’s unconditional love provides when they choose to belong to a small group of fellow believers who are committed to one another and meet on a regular basis.

We believe that many people who come to Christ and others who attend or belong to the local Church fellowship have deep hurts and negative behavioral patterns that need mending and that assured recovery requires a Christian counselor and/or combination of small group and dedicated personal care.

We believe that personal, small group, and corporate prayer is absolutely vital to every Christian’s spiritual life. It is a discipline that must be learned and constantly maintained if we are to fulfill Christ’s work on earth.

We believe that pastors and full-time elders are specifically called by God to devote a significant portion of their daily work time to prayer. They are to equip and lead the believer into a deeper understanding and relationship with the Lord.

We believe God deeply loves lost people compelling every Christian to build relational bridges to the unconverted where they can authentically demonstrate God’s love and share the gospel in terms that are sensitive, relevant, and non-threatening.

We believe that the evangelization of lost people must take place on the three interrelated levels of meeting social needs, building authentic relationships, and conducting corporate events that are sensitive to the cultural biases and needs of unchurched people.

We believe that, at times, God moves sovereignly in ways we don’t always understand to reach unconverted people, and that the local church body should pray for and remain open to such a move of God’s spirit.
