We acknowledge the Lordship of Christ and commit ourselves only to his purposes and will. Matthew 1:18-23; 3:17, John 1:1-18,  Hebrews 1:1-3

Holy Spirit

We must have the presence and power of God’s Holy Spirit to teach, gift, empower, and guide us in doing the continuing work of Jesus. Psalm 139:7-24, John 14:16-17,26; 16:7-14, Romans 8:9-11, 14-16, 26-27

Authentic Worship

Our worship will be Christ-centered, authentic, and generationally relevant. John 4:24

Prayer

We must personally and corporately pray because God hears and answers our prayers; God commands that we pray.

With a servant’s heart we join Christ in loving and helping those who are hungry, sick, and hurting. Matthew 25:40, Acts 1:8

Missions

We will join other Christian’s in doing Jesus’ work among men throughout the world. Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8

Love

God loves every person. Jesus commands that we love God and other people. Therefore, we commit ourselves to love God, each other, and those outside our church. John 3:16, Romans 5:8,
