The Lordship of Christ

We acknowledge Christ as the head of our church and will submit ourselves

and all our activities to His will and good pleasure. 

Mt. 28:18; Acts 2:36; Rom. 10:9; Eph. 1:22-23; Phil. 2:11; 1 Pet. 3:15

 

Serving Others

Like Jesus, we will aspire to serve, rather than be served, by watching for and

responding to the needs of fellow-believers and those in our community.

Mt. 20:26-28; Mt. 25:34-40; Jn. 13:12-14; Eph. 2:10; James 2:14-17; 1 Pet. 4:10

 

Strengthening Prayer

We will seek understanding of and power to do God’s will by

strengthening our praying, both individually and as a church. 

Ps. 5:3; Jer. 33:3; Mk. 1:35; Lk. 18:1; Acts 2:42; Phil. 4:6-7; James 5:16

 

Christ-honoring Worship

We will pray, prepare for, and glory in worship that stirs our thankfulness,

renews our hope, warns our waywardness, and calls us to fields of service.

1 Chron. 16:29; Ps. 84:10; Ps. 95:1-6; Rom. 12:1; Col. 3:16; Rev. 5:6-14

 

Anointed Teaching and Preaching

We will seek teachers and preachers who give evidence of being called by God

and who are diligent to show themselves approved unto God.

Acts 2:42; 1 Cor. 1:17; 1 Tim. 4:13; 2 Tim. 2:15; Tit. 2:1-8; James 3:1

 

Demonstrating Integrity and Trustworthiness

We will value honesty, authenticity (genuineness), and trustworthiness

in our relationships both inside and outside the church.

Ex. 20:16; Ps. 25:21; Prov. 10:9; Prov. 11:3; Mt. 5:37; Phil. 4:8; Tit. 2:7

 

Mission Involvement

We will take the church’s ministries of teaching, preaching, and caring to our

community and wherever in our country, or beyond, our Lord calls us.

Mt. 10:7-8; Mt. 28:19-20; Jn. 20:21; Acts 1:8; Rom. 10:13-15; 1 Thess. 2:8

 

Strengthening Discipleship

Through Sunday School and other ministries, we will equip believers with sound doctrine, awareness of spiritual gifts, and skills in sharing and defending our faith.

Mt. 28:19; Jn. 8:31-32; Jn. 15:8; Acts 14:21-22; Eph. 4:11-13; 2 Pet. 3:18
