We value biblically centered preaching and teaching.
We strive to teach God's word with integrity so that the unsaved will find Christ and believers will mature in their faith.
We value spiritual growth.
We seek to help people grow spiritually so that each person can become a fully devoted follower of Christ, not only in word but in deed.
We value relationships.
We desire to be a compassionate body of believers where people listen to, support and forgive one another in an atmosphere of honesty and transparency.
We value harmonious ministry.
We encourage all people to use their unique gifts while understanding that we honor God best in a spirit of unity, meaning the good of the whole supersedes the desires of the individual.
We value biblical community.
We encourage believers to draw strength and wisdom from one another in small group and discipleship settings.
We value humor.
We want to be a church leavened with humor, which draws us nearer to one another and helps us celebrate our joy in Christ.
We value reaching out to others with the good news of Christ.
We are called to be salt and light and therefore must learn to relate to, share our faith with and love people in our community unconditionally, no matter how different from us they might be.
We value people-friendliness.
We want visitors to feel our church is a place where they are welcome, where they are accepted and where their spiritual growth is encouraged.
We value Godly leadership.
We desire to have leaders who speak and model Christ's values to the congregation, and who boldly guide the church through changing times and circumstances.
We value families and children.
We believe that children learn and grow best in a family setting, and we strive to support husbands and wives in raising their children for God's glory and in growing closer to one another.
We value excellence is all that we do.
We believe God is honored when we give Him our "first fruits" and, thus, encourage people to honor him through the best of our time, talents and treasures.
We value contemporary praise and worship.
While respecting the traditions of the past, we want to be a flexible church that offers Christ's never changing message of redemption in a worship setting that's relevant to our changing times.
We value prayer.
We want to seek God on bended knees, knowing that prayer must gird all that we do.
We value humility and grace.
We believe that grace is the reason we've been granted new life in Christ, that God is the God of second chances and that our love for Him and each other is served best through an attitude of brokenness before Him.
