Our Core Values

As a congregation, our fellowship in the Lord is built upon the following essential biblical values:

• We value being Christ–Centered
  We seek to glorify our heavenly Father by following the Holy Spirit's lead in exalting Jesus Christ. Finding our identity in Jesus alone, we seek to advance his work in our world.

• We value being Bible–Based
  Because the Holy Bible is our guide and ultimate authority, we are committed to sound Biblical teaching and practices.

• We value being Grace–Oriented
  We emphasize God's unconditional acceptance and full forgiveness through Jesus Christ. We seek to guide and encourage one another through grace rather than through unnecessary rules and guilt.

• We value being Relationship–Building
  The gospel of Jesus Christ is focused on the reconciliation of relationships—with God and between people. We aim to give priority to healing and strengthening relationships in all we do. We place particular emphasis on ministering to families and helping to heal family relationships.

• We value being People–Equipping
  We emphasize people over programs. Our programs exist to help all who fellowship with us come to know Jesus more deeply as they develop their God-given gifts and talents for use in Jesus' ministry in our world.
