CORE VALUES

We are committed to God-centered, Bible-based Worship.

Worship is indispensable to our faith and is the basis of every aspect of our ministry. Therefore, we encourage all members and guests to meet regularly for corporate worship. Our adoration, confession, affirmation, and dedication through prayer, Bible reading, proclamation, music, and offerings demand our best. We approach worship with humility and reverence.

We are committed to Christian Discipleship led by the Holy Spirit.

We seek God’s will in our daily lives through individual and family worship, prayer, Bible study, and stewardship. We seek to be faithful to God’s teachings and honest and truthful in our dealings with others. We strive to grow in Christian maturity that will be exemplified in our character and conduct. Our discipleship is focused on applying God’s truths in our daily living and prepares us for effective service to God and ministry to others. As joyful stewards, we are faithful in giving and administering the blessings God has provided. Our stewardship includes our finances, our time, our talents, our whole being, and all of God’s creation. We are also called to disciple others by providing Christian education for people of all ages, nationalities, and backgrounds, and nurturing them as they grow in their Christian maturity.

We are committed to an unconditionally loving Fellowship.

Our congregational fellowship is a reflection of God’s love and grace. As faithful servants, we minister to others in a spirit of humility and love by caring for all within the congregation and bearing each other’s burdens. Our actions are based on integrity, trust, honesty, and respect. We pursue a spirit of unity and cooperation in all that we do. Our fellowship is democratic in decision-making, and we desire input and participation from all members in matters brought to the congregation.

We are committed to local, national, and global Missions.

Individually and as a church, we are called to share the good news of Jesus Christ with those in need of the gospel message and to reach out to those who do not have a church home. We offer our congregation’s love and support as we minister to the whole person in attempting to meet their spiritual and life needs. As we seek to do God’s will in our mission ministries, we cooperate with others who share our values and beliefs.

We are committed to Historical Baptist Principles and Practices.

Historical Baptist distinctives are: the authority of scripture, the priesthood of the believer, the separation of church and state, the autonomy of the local; church, missions, evangelism, social ministries, and the celebration of believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
