R- Rely on God
Our goal is to be faithful not flashy. Our passion is to faithfully preach and teach
God’s Word and depend upon Him in prayer. In many ways, we will be deliberately simple with
weekly corporate worship as the centerpiece and launching pad for all we are and do.
I- Invest in people
Discipleship requires personal investment. The church is more of an
organism than a organization. We believe the most fruitful soil for discipleship is in the context
of community.
S- Service is worship
We want to grow servants not spectators. We aim to equip the saints for
the work of the ministry, to see each person using their God-given gifts to minister to the church
and reach the world
E- Evangelistic culture
We believe that developing culture is more powerful than programs. We
seek to intentionally develop the culture of hospitality, urgent mission, and consistent bold
proclamation of the gospel.
N- Never outgrow the Gospel
The gospel is the central message of the Bible. 1 Corinthians
15:3-6 says, “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died
for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised from the
dead according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas then to the twelve. Then he
appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though
some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to
one untimely born, he appeared also to me.” This gospel is the heartbeat of our church. All of our
actions pour forth out of the love with which Christ loved us.
