"He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit."
Titus 3:5 NLT
 
 

Our Practices . . .

We believe that there are certain practices taught in Scripture that believers need to habitually live out in order to be healthy and effective in their new life as a believer. These five practices of worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and evangelism reflect our core values as a church and the way in which we believe our purpose will be accomplished.

Worship

We believe that worship is the priority of the true Christian. Not only should believers gather regularly for corporate worship, thus identifying themselves both with the Lord and His body, but they should also live a life of worship marked by thankfulness of spirit and obedience to His word that brings glory to the name of Jesus Christ. The new life is marked by the habits of worship.

Fellowship

We believe that true Christian fellowship is the result of conversion; it is both essence and evidence of true faith. For this reason we encourage participation in the life of the church outside of Sunday worship, especially in small groups which we hold to be a primary opportunity for the development of long term caring relationships. The new life is marked by the habits of fellowship.

Discipleship

We believe that God’s ultimate intention for the believer is the conformation of their character to that of Jesus Christ, and that this transformation is significantly helped by the practice of spiritual disciplines such as private prayer and Bible study in addition to the other practices of the new life. The new life is marked by the habits of discipleship.

Ministry

We believe that God has given every believer gifts, both natural and spiritual and that we are responsible before God to develop and use these gifts to build up the body of Christ through committed service in the local church. The new life is marked by the habits of ministry.

Evangelism

We believe that sharing our faith in Christ as Savior and Lord is the standing order of the church and that every Christian should not only be equipped to effectively share the gospel, but that every aspect of their life should be used as a forum for doing so. The new life is marked by the habits of evangelism.
