One of the clearest descriptors of who we desire to be as a church is our vision and values, listed below:
God-Glorifying
Glorify God in Christ by the power of the Spirit.
Word-Based
All that we do should be grounded in Scripture; the ministry of the Word should be the point of attraction and growth.
Prayer-Saturated
Consistent appeals to God in regular and special gatherings of the church, and regular calls to prayer and fasting as part of our life together.
Gospel-Centered
We find our definition and scope by the gospel of Jesus Christ alone.
Routinely-Gathering
Purposeful facilitation of opportunities for worship, relationships, and discipleship; our gatherings will have a sense of purpose and dignity.
Evangelistically-Driven
Zeal for the lost through local-church based evangelism, both in our corporate gatherings and in our private lives.
Spiritual-Shepherding
Church-wide shepherding culture, both gathered and scattered.
Biblically-Ordered
Elder-led congregational polity.
Meaningful Membership
Covenantal membership with a distinction between members and non-members, protected by a membership process and church discipline.
