  About Us
 

Vision

We will...
  • Bless God with expressive worship - resulting in the refreshing visitation of God's presence.
  • Bring people to new life in Christ - resulting in conversion growth to 300 in attendance.
  • Bond believers into a spiritual family - resulting in a loving, accepting, and forgiving community.
  • Build Christians for their maximum fulfillment - resulting in releasing leadership, ministries, and gifts.
  • Birth churches around the world - resulting in a multiplying network of local fellowships.

We have a vision to become a healthy body of Christ, benefiting from the five-fold ministry of 'apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers' (Ephesians 4:11), with opportunities for all believers to be equipped for ministry (Ephesians 4:12), 'until we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work' (Ephesians 4:15,16).

Core Values

  • We rely on the Bible as our ultimate source for all we do. Bible-based preaching, teaching, discipling, training, and decision-making bring godliness.
  • We cooperate with the Holy Spirit for supernatural power in all we do. Welcoming and honoring the gifts, ministries, and manifestations of the Holy Spirit help us to accomplish God's will.
  • We give and receive God's grace with every person in all we do. The undeserved favor of God, not our rules or religion, makes us acceptable and allows us to rest in God.
  • We apply standards of excellence to all we do. Evaluating the beauty, quality, effectiveness, and glory of our efforts leads to continual progress in God.
  • We involve individuals in small groups in all we do. Participation, relationships, and discipleship develop best in small groups that meet for godly purposes.
  • We exercise leadership gifts in all we do. Recognizing and releasing five-fold ministries, leaders, and elders provides the best leadership in God.

We honor and value the example of the Acts 2 church which brings us to greater realization of God's plan: Peter replied, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off ... Save yourselves from this corrupt generation. Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about 3000 were added to their number that day. They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles... they gave to anyone as he had need. ... They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved (Acts 2:38-47).
