Built on Christ, Our Firm Foundation
Our vision is to be an emotionally healthy, spiritually vibrant, family-focused church, influencing our community for the Kingdom of God, growing, and with a known reputation for Christ-likeness.
Core Values
Our core values are Prayer, Worship, the Word, Discipleship, and Benevolence.
PRAYER
Prayer is critical to a relationship with God. Jesus modeled this during His time on earth (and is still modeling this with constant intercession on our behalf). Prayer = communication = relationship.
God has asked us to pray, He answers our prayers, and prayer changes us more into His likeness. Prayer is an act of worship. There is power in prayer through the name of Jesus to heal, deliver, provide, and protect. We desire a “Pray first, pray always!” mentality. God isn’t looking for perfect prayers; He is looking for authentic hearts. (Philippians 4:6-7)
WORSHIP
Worship is the act of honoring God in every aspect and season of our lives and with varying expressions, including acts of service, prayer, tithes & offerings, music ministry, and other spiritual disciplines. How we worship is directly related to the nature of our relationship with God.
THE WORD
We value God’s Word as the ultimate guide for every Christ-follower. More specifically, the canonized Bible, placed in proper historical and cultural context, presents our doctrinal foundation in which we strive to teach others in sound doctrine. We preach not only with our words but also in action, with the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit. (Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 1 Thessalonians 1:5, 1 Corinthians 2:4)
DISCIPLESHIP
To us, discipleship is our church leadership resourcing and empowering fellow believers to fulfill their unique and God-given potential through acts of prayer, teaching, training, and ministry service opportunities. (Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 1:8)
BENEVOLENCE
“Faith without works is dead”. Not only should we have spiritual fruit related to how we live out our faith, but also acts of kindness that practically display God’s love. (Matthew 25:31-40)
OUR BELIEFS
We are a part of the Foursquare Church movement.
What is Foursquare?
The Foursquare Church, officially known as the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, is a Protestant denomination founded by Aimee Semple McPherson in the 1920s. Foursquare derives its name from what McPherson called the "Foursquare Gospel": Jesus is the Savior, Jesus is the Healer, Jesus is the Baptizer with the Holy Spirit, and Jesus is the Soon-Coming King.
