We are a community driven by a Jesus-centered vision to be a "Light of the world" We believe that a single encounter with God can change everything. Our church focuses on empowering individuals to both gather and scatter. We gather to worship, pray, delve into God's word, and be transformed by His presence. Then, we scatter as compassionate followers of Jesus, bringing light, peace, joy, and positive change to wherever God sends us. Our aim is for the world and beyond to experience God's love and power.
OUR BELIEFS
The word of God
We believe that the Holy Bible is God’s Word, that it was written by men divinely inspired, and that it is inerrant in the original writings. It is the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and practice (II Tim 3: 16-17; II Pet 1:21).
The trinity
We believe in one God, creator and sustainer of all things, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; they are equal in every divine perfection and that they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence, and redemption (Gen 1:26; Deut 6:4, Matt 3: 16-17; 28:19).
God the father
We believe in God the Father, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, power and love. We rejoice that He concerns himself mercifully in the affairs of men and women, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ (Jn 16:23-27; Gal 4:4-6; Eph 1:3; 17-23).
Jesus christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is God’s one and only Son, and has precisely the same nature, attributes and perfections as God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. We believe further that He is true God and true man, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. We also believe in: His sinless life, His substitutionary atonement, His bodily resurrection from the dead, His ascension into heaven, His priestly intercession on behalf of His people, and His personal, future, and visible return to the world from heaven according to His promise (Matt 1:18-23, Lk 24:1-8; Jn 1:1,14; Acts 1:11; II Cor 5:19-21; I Tim 2:5; Heb 4:14-16; 7:24-25; I Jn 2:1; Rev. 19-20).
Holy spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from God to convict the world of guilt in regard to sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and comfort those who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that He indwells, baptizes, fills, heals physically, mentally and spiritually, seals, guides, instructs, and gives spiritual gifts to those who believe (Matt 28:19; Jn 16:8; Acts 1:8; 5:3-4; 1 Cor 6:11; 19; 12:4-13; Eph 1:13, 14; 3:16; 4:1-16).
Humanity
We believe that God created humanity, male and female, in the image of God and originally free from sin. We further believe that all people are by nature, and by choice, sinners and therefore spiritually dead. We believe that every human being is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith (Gen 1:26-27; 2:7-3: 19; Rom 3:9-23; Eph 2:1-3).
