We pursue the overarching purpose of meeting with God, glorifying God, and choosing to allow God to manifest Himself through us in the following ten ways:

1. We are a People of God’s Presence 
WE are a Christian Church. The person of Jesus Christ is central to all we do and through Him we have relationship with God the Father and the Holy Spirit.We pursue and recognize the emphasized presence of the Holy Spirit living in us an working through us to the glory of God the Father and Jesus Christ His Son. We believe in the infilling of the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. (John 14:16-18; Matthew 18:20; Matthew 28:20, 1 Corinthians 3:16; Jeremiah 24:7; James 4:8)

 

2. We are a Worship Center 
Our goal is to express our devotion to God through joyful praise and intimate worship. We gather weekly to praise God with joyful enthusiasm and glorious music. (Romans 12:1-2; John 4:24; Psalm 22:22; Psalm 35:18; Ephesians 5:19-20; Colosians 3:16; Hebrews 12:28-29)

 

3. We are a Truth Center 
We are committed to the Bible as the Word of God and our final authority for rule and practice. We cherish and honor God’s revealed Word. We value careful biblical teaching and biblical doctrine. We welcome the exposure of our own error and sin so that we can walk with Jesus in the truth. (Psalm 119:160; Proverbs 30:5; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 1: 19-21; Isaiah 55:11).

 

4. We are a Prayer Center 
We aim to see mountains moved, burdens broken and people’s needs met through regular devoted prayer meetings and fastings. This of course also means that we are a faith center. “Nothing is too hard for the Lord.” (Jeremiah 1:12; John 16:24; Matthew 21:22; Jeremiah 33:3 John 14:14; John 16:23; James 5:16; Job 22:27; 1 John 5:14; 1 John 5:15; John 14:13; John 15:7; Matthew 18:18; Matthew 18:19; John 15:16; Jeremiah 29:12; Isaiah 65:24; Psalm 91:15)

 

5. We are a Evangelistic Outreach Center 
We are an evangelistic church. Our goal is to reach lost people both near and far and influence our community for righteousness through evangelism,community outreach, missions and church planting.We help people understand, believe, celebrate, and spread the good news of Jesus Christ and His kingdom. We serve the gospel with boldness and sacrifice. In serving the gospel, this message that is opposed by the world, we will not be ashamed of the gospel and we won’t fear anyone. We won’t be captivated by this godless culture, manipulated by critics, frustrated by problems, debilitated by temptation, or intimidated by the devil. When times get tough and we get tired, we won’t back up, back off, back down, back out, or backslide. We’ll just keep moving forward by God’s grace. We’re spirit-led, purpose-driven, mission-focused and we shall not quit until we finish the race. We honor the gift and work of evangelism.

Our goal is to see every member developing their God-given abilities, gifts and passions and using them to serve others.  We are a body-life focused church, where everyone is encouraged to participate in our gatherings and build up others. We encourage everyone to utilize their spiritual gifts to enrich the Church body, their families and communities for the glory of God. (Romans12:6-8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11)

We seek to be a place of unity and peace amid a de-personalizing society. (1 Peter 4:8; Matt 5:41; Luke 10:34-37)
