OUR CORE VALUES
• God’s Presence is the essential and defining component of our Gatherings. Without it, we can do nothing; within it, we find everything. His presence is what heals us, comforts us, guides us, and breathes new life into us. • Outreach: We live in a world desperately seeking truth and reality. We exist to share the Gospel and do the works of Jesus to see lives changed in our City, our Region, our Nation, and our World through the Power of God that changes people’s physical, emotional, and spiritual situations and brings Reformation and Awakening to the multitudes. • The Next Generation: We are dedicated to reaching the next generation and equipping them to be mighty Sons and Daughters of God, whose lives transform their sphere of influence and make an eternal impact in the world. • Excellence: God is worthy of our best. Going beyond what is required, giving our best at all times in everything we do brings joy to God’s heart and glory to His name. • Diversity: We are committed to experiencing life as a diverse community. We celebrate all cultures, races, personalities, ages, and backgrounds because each reflects the beauty of our Maker in a unique way. Our differences individually complete us corporately for Kingdom Purpose. • Serving: God has placed in man a desire to be a part of something bigger than himself. As we serve in His house, we experience the fulfillment of giving ourselves to the greatest cause of all: seeing His Kingdom Purposes accomplished on the earth. • Life-Giving Atmosphere: We believe that God’s House is a place where all people can come and experience life as God intended it; a place where love is felt, relationships are formed, and destiny is discovered. • Teamwork: We do life together. As we work side by side, we share in the joy of seeing our unique strengths, abilities, and gifts unite to accomplish God’s kingdom purposes in our community and across the world. |

OUR BELIEFS
The Scriptures: The Bible is the inspired Word of God.
The Godhead: God is one, manifested in three Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Eternal Life and the New Birth: Man’s step toward salvation is the new birth, and it is necessary for all men.
Water Baptism: Is by immersion, is a direct commandment of the Lord, is for believers only, and the ordinance is a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection.
Baptism in the Holy Spirit: A gift from God as promised by the Lord to all believers and is received subsequent to the new birth.
Sanctification: A definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of the new birth and continuing until Christ’s return.
Divine Healing: For the physical, mental, and emotional ills of people and is wrought by the power of God through faith, prayer, and by the laying on of hands. It is provided for in the atonement of Christ and is the privilege of every member of the Church today.
Resurrection of the Just and the Return of Our Lord: Jesus Christ’s coming is imminent. When He comes, “…the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air…”
Hell and Eternal Retribution: One who physically dies in his sins without accepting Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the lake of fire and, therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the gospel or repenting.
Sacredness of Marriage: We acknowledge and recognize marriage as a God-given institution between one man and one woman, whose genders were created by God, according to the written Word of God.
