Who We Are
Our Mission
Proclaim Christ and plant churches as Christ loves us.
Our Vision
To know and share Christ locally and globally.
Our Beliefs
We believe the Bible to be the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons-Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His visible personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling and filling the Christian is enabled to live an empowered life of fruitfulness according to God's calling.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe that Christ commanded the Church to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, baptizing those who believe in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit and teaching them.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
