Our Values

We are committed to living out the values of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our mission is to love God, love others, and share the good news of Jesus Christ. 


Unconditional Love

1 John 3:16 - This is how we know what love is: Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.


Welcoming

Matthew 25:35 - For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink.


Generosity

Acts 20:35 - By this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus said: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”


Service

Matthew 20:28 - Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.


Wise Stewardship

1 Peter 4:10 - Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.


Compassion

Ephesians 4:32 - Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Our Beliefs

As a church, we affirm the 1963 Baptist Faith and Message. We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • The Trinity

    We worship one living and true God who reveals Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God the Father reigns with providential care, Jesus Christ is our eternal Savior and Lord, and the Holy Spirit empowers believers for Christian living and service.

  • Scripture

    We believe that the Bible is God’s revelation to humanity. Scripture serves as our standard for faith, conduct, and religious opinions, with Jesus Christ as the criterion for interpretation.

  • Jesus

    We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He is the central figure of Christianity, the Word of God made flesh. Jesus was sent by God to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins so that we could enjoy an eternal life with Him. Jesus’ teachings on love, forgiveness, humility, and repentance are at the core of our beliefs. We also believe in Jesus’ resurrection, that it was proof of His deity and the promise of eternal life for all those who believe. We are called to follow Jesus, to live lives of holiness, and to share the good news of the gospel. As we learn to love and serve others, we are reminded of Jesus’ example of love and sacrifice.

  • Holy Spirit

    We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is the third person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is the unifying power between God and humanity, and is the source of our comfort, guidance, and strength. The Holy Spirit helps us to understand and appreciate the Bible, and helps us to live out its teachings in our lives. We believe that the Holy Spirit is with us always, faithfully guiding us in our walk with God. We also believe that the Holy Spirit gives us gifts so that we can be used to serve God and spread His love.

  • Salvation by Grace Through Faith

    Salvation is God's free gift to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We believe in salvation by grace through faith alone, encompassing regeneration (new birth), sanctification (growing in holiness), and glorification (our eternal reward).

  • Baptism

    We believe in the importance of baptism. Baptism symbolizes a believer's commitment to Jesus and His teachings, and is an outward act of confessing our faith in Him. We believe that baptism is essential to Christian discipleship, and it is a beautiful way to proclaim our allegiance to Jesus. Baptism is a sacred and meaningful experience, and we are deeply committed to helping believers celebrate this important milestone in their journey of faith. By celebrating and honoring baptism, we are proclaiming our faith in Jesus and our desire to serve Him and others.

  • The Dignity of Every Person

    Every human being is created in God's image and possesses inherent dignity and worth. We affirm the sacredness of human personality and believe every person deserves respect and Christian love.

  • Individual Soul Competency

    We emphasize each person's direct relationship with God, freedom in religion, and the priesthood of every believer. While we hold firm doctrinal convictions, we respect individual conscience under God's authority.

  • Local Church Autonomy

    New Testament churches are autonomous bodies of baptized believers, operating democratically under Christ's lordship. Churches are responsible for their own governance while cooperating voluntarily with other churches for kingdom purposes.

  • The Great Commission

    We are called to make disciples of all nations through evangelism and missions. Every Christian has the duty and privilege to share the gospel and extend God's kingdom to the ends of the earth.

  • Christian Living and Social Responsibility

    Christians seek to honor Christ's will in both personal life and society. We are called to oppose injustice, care for those in need, and work toward righteousness in all areas of human life.

  • Religious Liberty

    We champion the separation of church and state and believe God alone is Lord of conscience. Every person has the right to worship freely without interference from civil authorities or ecclesiastical control.

  • Biblical Stewardship

    All blessings come from God, and Christians are trustees of the gospel and stewards of their time, talents, and possessions. We should give cheerfully, regularly, and proportionately for advancing Christ's kingdom.

  • Women in Leadership and Ministry

    We affirm that all people, men and women alike, are created in God's image with equal dignity and worth. The Holy Spirit bestows spiritual gifts upon all believers for service in God's church. We support the ordination of qualified women as deacons and ministers, recognizing that God's calling and gifting for ministry transcends gender distinctions.
