Purpose, Vision, Statement of Faith

Our Purpose
Developing devoted followers of Jesus—who glorify God and expand His kingdom.

Our Vision
We are a Christ-centered community, building healthy congregations, committed to reaching our city, state and world.

Our Strategy
Come (meet Jesus). Grow (to be like Him). Go (serve Him).

Statement of Faith

We believe in the Scripture of the Old and New Testament as being
verbally and completely inerrant in the original writings and of supreme and
final authority in faith and life.

 

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son
and Holy Spirit.

 

We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten of the Holy Spirit and born of
the Virgin Mary and is true God and True man. The Holy Spirit was sent by
the Father as promised to convict the world of sin, to glorify Jesus
and to transform the lives of believers into the likeness of Christ.

 

We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned
and thereby incurred not only physical death but also that spiritual death
which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born
separated from God with a sinful nature. 

 

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to
the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that
all who believe in Him are redeemed and justified on the ground of His
shed blood.

 

We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, His
ascension into heaven, and His present life for us as High Priest and
Advocate.

 

We believe in “that Blessed Hope,” the personal, premillenial and
imminent return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

 

We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born of
the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God, a relationship in
which they are eternally secure.

 

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust;
the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting
conscious punishment of the lost along with Satan and the other fallen
angels.

 

We believe that the Church is a spiritual organism made up of all believers
in Christ; that in its local manifestation it is an autonomous assembly of believers; and that its ordinances are baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
