We believe in faithful proclamation and practice of New Testament teachings on obedience to the gospel which includes: - Belief in Jesus as the resurrected Son of God (John 8:24; Mark 16:16)
- Confession of Jesus as the Son of God (Romans 10:9,10)
- Repentance of sins (Acts 2:38; 3:19)
- Baptism for forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38; 22:16)
We believe the New Testament provides us the foundations of how we are to worship and includes: - Singing (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16)
- Praying (Acts 2:42; Philippians 4:6)
- Observance of the Lord’s Supper (Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 11:23ff)
- Giving (1 Corinthians 16:1,2; 2 Corinthians 9:6ff)
- Exhortation from the Word (Acts 2:42)
In order to maintain faithfulness to God’s word and fulfill our mission as a church family, we believe it is important to be: - Spirit-led (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:25)
- Prayer-driven (Matthew 7:7ff; 1 Thessalonians 5:17)
- Outreach-minded (Mark 16:15; Luke 19:10)
- Spiritual-growth focused (2 Peter 3:18; Hebrews 6:1)
