Our Values:


To Grow Intentionally
Acts 2.46-47
“They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord's Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity—all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their group those who were being saved.”


To Care Like a Family
Ephesians 2.18-19
“Now all of us, both Jews a

nd Gentiles, may come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us. So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God's holy people. You are members of God's family.”


To Serve Globally
Jesus said in Matthew 28:18-20
"I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age." To Deepen our Life of Worship
Romans 12.1
“And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will accept. When you think of what he has done for you, is this too much to ask?”


To Leave a Godly Legacy
2 Timothy 2.2
“You have heard me teach many things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Teach these great truths to trustworthy people who are able to pass them on to others.”

May we be willing, available, and ready to be used wherever He places us.

God doesn’t waste the hard seasons. He uses them to mend, shape, and strengthen us.

Men’s Fraternity last night was a great night of fellowship and truth as Bro. Davy shared how God works through our hardships for His purpose.

“After you have suffered a little while… He will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.” — 1 Peter 5:10

Men, if you haven’t gotten plugged in yet, there’s a place for you here. Come grow, connect, and walk shoulder to shoulder with other men pursuing Christ.

Baptism marks a powerful turning point, but for many believers, the fire that burns bright in that moment slowly fades under the pressures of everyday life. Paul addresses this directly in 1 Corinthians 10 by pointing to the Israelites who crossed the Red Sea, a moment he describes as a type of baptism. They experienced God's presence, ate spiritual food, and drank from the spiritual rock that was Christ. Yet many of them fell into rebellion almost immediately after crossing through the water. They came out of Egypt, but Egypt had not come out of them. Paul says these stories were written as examples so that we would not repeat the same mistakes.

Living the baptized life requires three ongoing practices. The first is learning to flee. Spiritual maturity is not about proving you can withstand temptation through willpower. Sometimes the wisest move is knowing exactly how much distance you need to create from something that is pulling you down. The second practice is learning to see. Just as the Corinthians had grown comfortable participating in things they did not fully understand, believers today can grow numb to habits and influences that are quietly doing damage. The baptized life invites the Holy Spirit to bring fresh clarity to those blind spots, shifting the question from what am I allowed to do to what is this actually doing to me. The third practice is learning to become. Paul's ultimate call is to stop making everything about personal rights and freedom, and to start asking how your choices affect the people around you. His goal was that nothing in his life would become a stumbling block keeping someone from coming to Jesus.

The baptized life is not a ceremony you complete. It is a daily decision to run from what harms you, to see what God wants you to see, and to live in a way that makes Jesus more visible to the people closest to you. The water of baptism was a beginning. The ongoing work of the Holy Spirit is what keeps it flowing.
