Guiding Principles

We are a people of God who actively encourage each other to live for Jesus and grow in our knowledge of Him.

We do Bible things Bible ways. Everything we do is “by the Book.” We adhere to Scriptural principles in all we do.

Worship is essential. Those leading in worship must personally enter into genuine worship themselves to lead others. Worship is not a performance but entering into God’s presence.

People are more important than things. Programs don’t love people, people love people. Programs draw folks in to experience authentic relationships.

Evangelism is a process not an event. We don’t “do witnessing” we are witnesses.

Every person is important to God and important to us and gifted for service. We are committed to putting every person in right relationship with others to express their unique giftedness in the church
