We exist by the gracious will of God, the great Initiator of creation and redemption! Therefore, we seek to be a church:

1. Submitted to God’s Word: We seek to be a church submitted to the whole counsel of God’s Word because it is both the source and authority of our lives.

2. Dependent on the Spirit: We seek to be a church that lives in total dependence upon the Holy Spirit, apart from whose presence and power no spiritual life or growth takes place.

3. Centered on the Gospel: We seek to be a church centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ because it is the climax of God’s Word, power unto salvation, and the pattern for the Christian life.

4. Devoted to Prayer: We seek to be a praying church, in prayer expressing our trust in God, fellowshipping with Him, and partnering with Him in His kingdom purposes.

We exist to worship Christ, for our good and the glory of God! Therefore, we seek to be a church:

• Magnifying God’s Glory: We seek to be a church that zealously pursues the glory of God in everything that we do, because it’s the reason we were made!

• Treasuring Christ: We seek to be a church that holds Jesus Christ as our highest treasure and good, seeking to know Him and love Him more!

• Pursuing Holiness: We seek to be a church that is in the world but not of the world, reflecting the holy likeness of God as we increasingly conform to the image of Christ. 

We exist to build up the body of Christ, for the good of one another and the glory of God! Therefore, we seek to be a church:

1. United in Love: We seek to be a church that puts Christ on display by loving one another as He loved us and guarding the unity He died to create. 

2. Active in Ministry: We seek to be a church in which the leaders equip the saints and the saints are active in the work of ministry, exercising their spiritual gifts in service to the body.

3. Cultivating Disciples: We seek to be a church laboring to help one another follow Jesus, cultivating disciple-making disciples of Christ in fulfillment of the Great Commission.

We exist to advance the gospel of Christ, for the good of the nations and the glory of God! Therefore, we seek to be a church:

1. On Gospel Mission: We seek to be a church earnestly engaged in the Great Commission gospel work of evangelizing the lost to the ends of the earth.

2. Overflowing in Mercy: We seek to be a church continually extending the mercy of Christ to our community, as His hands and feet, for the meeting of both spiritual and physical needs.

Multiplication-Minded: We seek to be a church with a constant eye towards multiplication, intentionally raising up and sending out disciples and leaders for gospel advancement.
