We believe in the power of love, acceptance, and forgiveness.

We believe that Each believer is responsible for using their gifts to further the cause of Christ, strategically within the body of the church.  We ask ourselves "Can you identify your spiritual gifts and show how God's unique calling is expressed in your ministry?".  We base this on the following scriptures: Philippians 2:4-11, Ephesians 4:11-13, and Psalm 133:1

We celebrate God's gift of the family, and we are dedicated to ministry of prevention rather than intervention to prepare our children for the future.  We ask ourselves "Are you purposefully investing in your children to draw them into a personal relationship with Christ?".  We base this on the following scriptures: Mark 10:13-16 and Proverbs 22:6
