Our Measures
Our goal is to have church members who are learning to think, be, and act like Jesus. Jesus' call to discipleship is "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19). We first follow Jesus at the head level as we learn and believe truths about Jesus. Through the process of sanctification and the work of the Holy Spirit, Jesus then changes our hearts and values to make us the people He wants us to be. Finally, by the work of our own hands and feet, we join Jesus in His mission to make disciples of all people. These are our measures:

Our Beliefs
The Lordship of Jesus Christ. We believe in Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of the world. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but by me." John 14:6
Evangelism. We are driven to reach people with the love of God as revealed in Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." Matthew 28:19
Service. We celebrate the spiritual gifts of every believer and encourage believers to use their spiritual gifts by serving God and His Church for His Glory. "Be doers of the word and not hearers only." James 1:22
Worship. We make private worship and the corporate worship of God a high priority. Jesus said, "You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve." Matthew 4:10b
Discipleship. We hold to the authority of the Bible as the inspired Word of God and use it as the source for educating our church about God and His plans for His church. "All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the person of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Missions and Ministry. We are committed to missions and ministry as we reach our hurting world. Jesus taught in a parable, "As often as you did it unto the least of these, my brothers, you did it unto me." Matthew 25:40
