Our Values

PEOPLE
We believe that all people are created and loved by God. We give priority to people and value the unique expression of Christ in every individual.

EXPERIENCE WITH GOD
We encourage discovering the true nature and character of God and having a real experience with Him. When we genuinely experience God, we enjoy eternal life, the abundant life that Jesus promised and true freedom.

COMMUNITY
We are better together! We value fellowship with others and forming lasting relationships. We were designed for community and together, we can grow, do life, accomplish a mission and thrive!

GROWTH
We encourage personal and spiritual development through God’s Word (the Bible). Knowing the truth of God’s Word, believing it, making it a priority and continuing in the Word of truth will result in growth and produce true freedom in our lives.

HEARING GOD’S VOICE
We value the practical application of the Gifts of the Spirit and practical teaching on hearing God’s voice for oneself. We believe that one word from God can create the most impactful change in a person’s life.
