What We Believe

Love Others One Step Closer To Jesus

It begins inside each one of us. We want to accept, experience then share the love of Jesus with everyone we meet. Our desire is the same as Jesus'. That everyone on Earth would come to know and accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior.

To teach, share and stand for the truth of Christ

We believe in the truth of the Gospel and the teachings of Jesus.  We will not compromise on these truths.  We believe the world needs the true love of Jesus.

We desire to be the community of believers that God wants us to be 

Since the church was created in Acts, God has called His people to come together in community. People from every background, every race, every economic level are to joined together through the love of Jesus. In fact, Jesus gave His life for the church. We are to be people of God. While not perfect, we are striving to live out the "one anothers" demonstrated throughout the New Testament. The greatest of these is to love one another.

We are all sinners saved by grace, through faith

No one is perfect, we all need Jesus. We need His love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness. Anyone is capable of receiving these from Jesus. No matter what they have done or are doing. His love seeks to meet them where they are and we long for an opportunity to receive them into the love of Jesus.
