Our Purpose
To love God, each other, and our World.
We believe that God has called us as individuals and as a church to live out the Gospel wherever we go in life so that others can know and grow in Jesus. We also want to glorify God by loving Him and others and enjoying Him.
Our Vision
Moving people to extraordinary life with Christ!
Our vision is to work together as a church and faithfully rely on God to move people to a place where they can experience and enjoy an extraordinary and life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ, becoming more like him as they grow and mature in their faith and character.
Our Beliefs
Baptists, since their beginnings, repeatedly have composed confessions, which expressed the doctrinal consensus among related churches. In principle, however, Baptists always have insisted that no statement of faith can be considered creedally binding even upon concurring congregations. The purpose of their doctrinal summaries was to explain to other Christians and to the larger society what Baptists believed and practiced. Within and among Baptist churches, statements of faith also provided a standard for instruction, counsel and fellowship.
In continuity with our immediate forefathers and the larger fellowship of Baptists throughout history, we seek to practice and propagate by God’s grace the following convictions:
- We believe the Bible is God’s Word given by divine inspiration, the record of God’s revelation of Himself to humanity
- We believe in the one living and true God, perfect in wisdom, sovereignty, holiness, justice, mercy, and love
- We believe God created an order of spiritual beings called angels to serve Him and do His will
- We believe God created man in His own image to have fellowship with Himself and to be steward over His creation
- We believe salvation is redemption by Christ of the whole person from sin and death
- We believe the Church is the body of which Christ is the head and all who believe in Him are members
- We believe religious liberty, rooted in Scripture, is the inalienable right of all individuals to freedom of conscience with ultimate accountability to God
- We believe Christians, individually and collectively, are salt and light in society
- We believe God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring all things to their appropriate end and establish the new heaven and the new earth
