What We Believe

We affirm as fundamental Christian doctrines:
  • A belief in one God who exists in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • The incarnation and virgin birth of Christ.
  • That Christ was fully God and fully man, lived a sinless life, and gave his life as an atonement for sins.
  • That He rose from the grave, ascended into heaven, and will come again.
  • We believe that all persons are sinful and separated by God because of sin.
  • We believe and proclaim that God offers forgiveness to all who will turn to him in faith.
  • We believe that salvation is the work of God – by grace, through faith. ​

Points of Emphasis 2026

Domestic Missions:
Our desire is for…..
  1. Our church to be encouraged and inspired by what God is doing around our state and nation!
    1. Hebrews 10:24-25
  2. Our church to be a part of bringing the Gospel not just to Jerusalem and Judea, but also to Samaria and in 2027, the ends of the earth! (Acts 1:8)
  3. Our church to both give and receive in the ministry partnerships we pursue!

Practical Steps for getting there:
  • More intentional times of prayer and when possible, guest ministry leader testimonies about what God is doing in other places!
  • Establishing a partnership that allows us to send and receive a mission team once in the next year!

Rest: 
Our desire is for…..
  1. Our church to better understand what biblical rest is and how it applies to our lives.
  2. Our church to feel refreshed not because we are doing nothing but because we what we are doing is intentionally bringing us and others closer to Jesus
  3. Our church to focus more on being in communion and on mission with God rather than doing things for God
  4. Our ministry leaders and volunteers to feel equipped and encouraged even if it means taking a break

Practical steps for getting there:
  • Intentional preaching series focused on gaining a better understanding of biblical rest and how it impacts our lives and mission
  • Adding a consistent midweek adult prayer/bible study time with the goal of growing deeper with and being refreshed by God while also growing together
  • Intentional check in’s with ministry leaders and volunteers to evaluate how effective and purposeful our ministries are for fulfilling our mission
  • Emphasis on retreats and conferences in order to help equip and encourage our leaders, volunteers, and church as a whole
