WE BELIEVE...
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and inerrant in its original manuscripts. As such, it is the only source of authority for faith and life as well as our instructional book, essential for the transformation of lives and spiritual growth. We believe that our relationship with God provides the foundation for our relationships with others. We believe that excellence honors God and inspires people. We believe that every believer should be involved in continual spiritual growth toward Christ likeness. We believe in developing men and women capable of and committed to spiritual multiplication. We believe we must be committed to fulfilling the Great Commission by sharing the good news of God’s grace with our neighbors, our cities and our world. We believe that it is essential to equip believers for the work of the ministry. We believe that the Bible teaches that we should not be governed by legalism. We believe the resources God has given to the body are to be handled in a responsible manner, furthering God’s eternal purposes. We believe the family of God should provide an environment filled with love, encouragement and support, regardless of stage of life and family composition.
