WHAT WE BELIEVE & FAQS
WHAT WE BELIEVE
These are the values and truths that define who we are and guide everything we do
Core Values
At the foundation of who we are as a church, these values capture the heart of how we live — anchored in truth, shaped by community, and empowered for life with God.
​
1. Love
We are called to love God and love people — unconditionally, sacrificially, and authentically.
2. Unity
We strive for harmony in diversity, working together as one body in Christ.
3. Word of God
The Bible is our ultimate authority. We read it, teach it, and live it.
​
4. Humility
We choose to serve rather than be served, walking in dependence on God and considering others above ourselves.
5. Holy Spirit
We depend on the Holy Spirit for empowerment, guidance, transformation, and spiritual gifts.
Culture of Heaven
Reflected in the cornerstones of our church, these five truths comprise the foundation of heaven's culture.
​
1. God is Good
God is a perfectly good Father. Everything good and perfect comes from Him and there's nothing that can change that.
2. Nothing is Impossible
With God, nothing is impossible, so we live with great faith in action.
3. The Cross Accomplished Everything
Everything we'll ever need was dealt with at the cross, so we must come to a place of trusting Him in everything.
4. Everyone is Significant
God has made each of us significant and valuable, so we must serve well.
Keys to Hearing God's Voice
Rooted in our relationship with the Father, these are simple practices to quiet our hearts and recognize God’s voice in everyday life.
​
1. Stillness
Quiet yourself in the Lord's presence and quiet your mind so you can hear God's voice.
2. Spontaneity
Recognize and tune in to God's voice as spontaneous thoughts which light upon your mind.
3. Vision
Look for vision as you pray - fix your eyes on being together with Jesus in a comfortable Gospel setting.
4. Journal
Write down the flow of thoughts and pictures that come to you.*
*MAKE SURE YOU ARE SHARING YOUR TWO-WAY JOURNALING WITH 2 OR 3 SPIRITUAL ADVISORS.
Prayer Evangelism
As illustrated in Luke 10:5-9, for godliness to increase in a city, we must change the city's spiritual climate.
​
1. Bless (Speak peace to them)
We need to declare peace because we may have been at war with the lost, so bless, don't blast or curse.
2. Fellowship (Eat with them)
Two-way fellowship provides an opportunity to show unconditional acceptance by accepting people how they are instead of how we want them to be.
3. Minister (Take care of their needs)
Letting the lost know you are praying for their felt needs touches them at the heart level and opens the door for God's heart to be shown and salvation.
4. Proclaim ("The Kingdom of God has come!")
By gradually improving the spiritual climate, people will feel safe in approaching. We can then explain that it is the Kingdom of God that has come near to them.
Reign in Life
There are four things that trouble mankind and hinder Christian growth. Although letting go of the past may be difficult,"...I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead. I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus." (Philippians 3:13-14 TPT)
WE REIGN OVER:
​​
1. Shame
Painful emotion caused by consciousness of shortcoming or wrongdoing.
2. Guilt

3. Bitterness

FIRST TIME?
As soon as you enter the parking lot, there is designated VISITOR parking conveniently located and close to the church’s entrance.
​When you enter our building, a member of our friendly Welcome Team will be ready to greet you and answer any questions you may have.
GIVING
Visitors should never feel obligated to give. You are our guest and your attendance is your gift to us.
As a church, we deeply believe that giving is part of a Biblical worship experience. When we tithe (giving the first tenth of income), it demonstrates our belief that God comes first. By doing so, we are declaring we are in a covenant relationship with Him. Tithing recognizes His blessing, and expresses faith that God promises to open the windows of heaven for His blessings to be poured out in our lives.
KIDS AND YOUTH
Our Nursery (infants-18 months) and Kinder Church (18 months-4 yrs.) are both located on the Main Level in the back of the Sanctuary. This safe, loving and comfortable atmosphere helps show children at the earliest ages that church is a good place to be.
​
​​In Kid's Church, ages 5-8, the children are taught to sing, pray, memorize Scripture and learn important Bible truths. This class is held during the entire worship service on the lower level. Children 9-11-years old are dismissed for Jr. Church following Praise and Worship.
