Beliefs
About Lordship
Lordship is knowing that Jesus Christ is Lord (Revelation 19:16). It is with our whole hearts that we must choose to submit to His will. This is the starting point of the Christian faith and the foundation of all spiritual growth (Acts 2:38).
About Discipleship
Jesus has called us to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20). We are committed to raising up faithful disciples of Christ.
About Prayer
Prayer is our direct connection to God. Our communication with God is vital to our spiritual growth and survival (Philippians 4:6).
About Worship
Worship is an outward expression of respect and adoration to God. We worship Him because He is the Creator and Lord of all things (Revelation 4:11).
About Family
God has called us all to be a spiritual family (1 Corinthians 4:15). Family is the foundation and validation of all ministry (1 Timothy 3:1-5). We need our spiritual family if we are to fulfill the purpose of God (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10).
About Leadership Development
Leadership is not only for those born with the gift, but is also taught. Faithfulness paves the way to leadership (Luke 16:10). What we learn, we are to commit to faithful men who will in turn teach others (II Timothy 2:2).
About Evangelism
God's heart is to reach the lost (II Peter 3:9). Church growth should primarily take place through evangelism (Romans 15:20). We should always look outside of ourselves to reach others.
