MINISTRY
We demonstrate God's love through ministry; discovering and developing our spiritual gifts and serving unselfishly - in Jesus' name meeting the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of those in our church, community, and the world.

Our core beliefs are:
God Is Sovereign
We are neither captains of our ships nor masters of our fates. "The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak" (Isaiah 40:28-29).
Jesus Is Lord
"Jesus is Lord" (Romans10:9)
The Holy Spirit lives within us (Romans 8:9-11). Our hearts are set upon what He desires (Romans 8:5-6).We crave His filling ( Ephesians 5:18). Since our spiritual lives are dependent upon Him, we diligently try to match our steps with His (Galatians 6:25).
