OUR PURPOSE

Our purpose is to build a lasting fellowship of people who love God and are serious about living for Him. To accomplish our purpose, we apply ourselves to serious study of the Scriptures, to importuning prayer, and to meaningful fellowship with God’s people.

 We are objective and non-sectarian in our interpretation and use of the Scriptures. We believe in the essential doctrines of Christianity, which are: (1) belief in the Trinity, (2) the incarnation of God in the person of Jesus, (3) the inerrancy and divine inspiration of Scripture, (4) salvation from sin by grace through faith the blood of Jesus Christ, and (5) the imminent return of Christ together with the final consummation at the end of the world.

 We respect all who profess faith in Jesus Christ regardless of their church or denominational affiliations or backgrounds. We believe in the free exchange of ideas and beliefs between Christians and that people should tolerate their differences until they come to the unity of the faith. We do not believe in proselyting but we do believe in inviting people to visit our services.

 We have a passion for those who do not know Jesus Christ as their savior. It is not our intention to humiliate or to intimidate non-believers, but rather we want to share with them the good news of redemption and the possibility of their personal deliverance from guilt and sin. At no time will we ever force or coerce people into decisions or confessions they do not want to make.

 We make a serious effort to live holy lives and to be blameless before God. In saying this, we are not saying that we believe we are better than other people or that we do not have any personal faults. We do not believe that holiness is found in legalism or fanaticism. We believe that holiness is simply a matter of obeying God. We believe that it is possible to live consistently holy because of the indwelling Holy Spirit assisting our human will and the fact that God really makes a way for people to face and overcome personal temptation as promised in Scripture. (1 Corinthians 10:13, NKJV. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.)
