THE GOSPEL | The Gospel Is Our Message

We are committed to preaching the full Gospel or “Good News” of Scripture. Methods will come and go, yet our message will remain the same.

John 3:16-17 NIV

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Romans 1:16a NIV

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes…

PEOPLE | People Are Our Mission

Our heart is for ALL people. All people are loved by Jesus. We focus on reaching the lost, discipling the saved and equipping the called.

John 13:34-35 NIV

34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Matthew 28:18-20 NIV

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

GENEROSITY | Generosity Is Our Privilege

We are generous with our time, talents and treasure. God has given richly towards us and it is our honor to give back to Him.

Proverbs 11:24-25 NIV

24 One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. 25 A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

2 Corinthians 9:6-8;11 NIV

6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

EXCELLENCE | Excellence Is Our Spirit

We are always going to do our best with all that God has given to us to steward.

Colossians 3:23-24 NIV

23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

2 Corinthians 8:7 NASB

7 But as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you—see that you excel in this act of grace also.
