Encounter God through Spirit-led worship, by praying, by seeking Him in His Word and through relationship with other disciples. We glorify Christ through passionate worship and cultivate our connection with Him through consistent prayer, Bible reading and fellowship with other believers. We are transformed by allowing His Spirit to shape our hearts and renew our minds.

Engage our world by sharing the Gospel and making disciples. Living as the body of Christ, we cultivate deep, authentic relationships where believers encourage, support, and grow together in faith, demonstrating His love in practical ways.

Expand Christ’s Kingdom by sharing His love and inviting others into a personal relationship with Him.

Empower Christ’s Kingdom by raising up committed disciples of Jesus who will be able to teach others also (II Timothy 2:2)

Commissioned as ambassadors of the Gospel, we intentionally reach our community and beyond, sharing the hope of Christ and welcoming all into transformative fellowship with God and His people

Our Values

We Believe...

The Bible is the Word of God

We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible Word of God, our only written guide for doctrine, rebuke, correction and instruction.

Salvation is by grace alone

We believe salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Salvation is God's free gift to us. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works; only by trusting in Jesus Christ and His death on the cross on our behalf can anyone be saved from sin's penalty.
