Below you will find our Core Values. These form the basis for how we serve our local church and community. They guide our decisions and practically help us define our directions. Our Church family seeks to uphold these to the best of their abilities.
CHRIST

The Good News of Jesus is the foundation of who we are and how we live.
BIBLE BASED

- The reading and studying of the Bible both personally and together is essential to our growth as followers of Jesus.
- Believing that the Bible through the power of the Holy Spirit can transform lives.
SPIRIT LED
- Believing God is able to do more than we ask or imagine.
- Prayer is our first priority in following God’s lead in life, church ministry and relationships.
- Encouraging people to explore, express and use their spiritual gifts to serve God and His church.
- As we grow in our reliance in the Holy Spirit, we expect to see the fruit of the Spirit evident in our relationship with God and people.
