OUR VISION, OUR MISSION, OUR CALLING
Evangelism: The vision of everything that we do is tied to our heartbeat of evangelism. The Gospel taken outside the four walls is the absolute foundation of our church, in obedience to Mark 16:15 And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature'… We emphasize personal evangelism, and a large variety of outreaches to share the Gospel.
​
Conversion: We desire to see God transform people not just attend a church. We witness, testify and preach for a decision. The Gospel has the power to save and transform lives. 1 Peter 1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever… The bulk of our congregation consists of people converted here by the Power of God.
​
The Local Church: God has placed everything necessary to accomplish His will in the setting of the local church. Ephesians 1:22-23 …the church. Which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. God’s will is accomplished in us and through us as connect and commit ourselves to a local church.
​
Discipleship: God intends for calling to Him, and for Him, to be accomplished through being trained and equipped within the setting of a local church. Therefore, the highest calling of a Pastor and congregation is to obey God’s command in Matthew 28:19-20 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. This a clear command of God and we work to accomplish this daily.
​
Church Planting: The result of disciples being raised up is that they be released into the harvest field. Matthew 9:37-38 Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." We send couples to plant brand new congregations, with the aim of reproducing our vision in a new area

What We Believe
​There is one God, eternally existing in Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God the Father is the Creator, who made man in His image for fellowship and reconciled him through Christ after the fall.
Jesus Christ is eternally God, the Creator with the Father and Holy Spirit. He became incarnate through the Virgin Mary, fully God and fully man.
​
The Holy Spirit is God, the giver of life, empowering believers for service and conforming them to Christ's image.
The Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, is the infallible, final, and eternal Word of God, guiding believers in doctrine and Christian conduct.
​
Christ's death on the cross paid for the sins of the world, providing healing in body, soul, and spirit.
Salvation is a free gift from God, received by faith in Jesus Christ, through repentance and acceptance of Him as Lord and Savior.
The Christian life involves consecration, devotion, and holiness, with trials and spiritual warfare. Eternal blessings in God's presence await those who remain faithful.
