Love Motivated
Love shapes everything we do, reflecting God's character and His call to love Him and others. Responding to His unconditional love, we seek to love Him wholeheartedly and extend that love through grace, compassion, and service. Love unites our community, fosters forgiveness, and reveals God's heart, drawing others to Him.
Matthew 22:37-39
37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
38 This is the great and first commandment.
39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

John 13:34-35
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

Colossians 3:14
14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

1 John 4:7-12
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
8 The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 No one has ever seen God, but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is perfected in us.
Bible Rooted
We trust and follow the Bible as the infallible, inspired, and authoritative Word of God. As the unchanging foundation of truth, it reveals who God is, how He works in creation, and His plan of salvation. We respond to God’s Word by letting it teach, correct, and equip us - shaping our beliefs, guiding our actions, and preparing us to pursue what is good and meaningful in life.
John 17:17
17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

2 Timothy 3:16-17
16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Prayer Empowered
We rely on prayer as our primary connection with God, seeking His wisdom, provision, and strength to fulfill His purposes. Prayer deepens our relationship with Him, unites our faith community, and aligns our hearts with His will. It is powerful and effective, bringing healing, restoration, and transformation.
James 5:16
16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

Luke 18:1-8
1And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.
2He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man.
3And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’
6And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says.
7And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them?
8I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
Transformation Focused
We celebrate the transformation that comes through the Holy Spirit - beginning with spiritual renewal through faith in Christ and continuing as believers who grow to reflect Him in every area of life. We invite others to embrace a new way of living - pursuing what is good, welcoming change, and allowing God to shape us for His greater purpose.
Romans 12:2
2Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

2 Corinthians 3:18
18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
Discipleship Cultivated
We are committed to making disciples - people who trust, obey, and grow in Christ and help others to do the same. Through opportunities to deepen biblical knowledge and apply Scripture to daily life, we equip believers to live with purpose and make a lasting impact on God's Kingdom, both locally and globally.
Matthew 28:19-20
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them inthe name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
