GOOD NEWS! — Jesus bled and died on the Cross for our sins, was buried, and was resurrected the third day. All who repent of their sins and trust in him for salvation receive full payment for their sins, the Holy Spirit, and a guarantee of resurrection and eternal life. Jesus, having ascended into heaven, now reigns as King of kings and Lord of Lords, hallelujah! Through preaching this gospel, we seek the expansion of his kingdom until all nations, tongues, kings, judges, families, individuals, and all creation submits to Jesus as Lord. MISSION — We want to make disciples who make disciples. We want to be a church that plants and multiplies. We are engaged in making and equipping disciples to love the Lord, their families, and their neighbors in such a way that they positively impact their community for the cause of Christ. We believe that the gospel entails "All of Christ for All of Life": so we want to be engaged in politics, culture, art, trades, commerce, etc. in ways that glorify Christ, exposes and expels darkness, and transforms the world for good in spiritual and tangible ways. UNCOMPROMISING — We remain faithful to the biblically-orthodox doctrines and confessions of the historic church. While the culture says that truth is relative, or that people should change with the times, our God is never-changing, and his Word remains forever (1 Peter 1:25). We therefore "contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3), for there is "one Lord, one faith, one baptism" (Ephesians 4:5). We diligently "guard the deposit" of this faith (1 Timothy 6:20; 2 Timothy 1:14). REFORMED — We are rooted in the 5 Solas of the Reformation (Scripture alone is our rule of faith and practice. We are saved by grace through faith in Christ alone, for God's glory alone). We confess the historic creeds and teach the confessions of the Reformation such as the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Three Forms of Unity. PRESBYTERIAN — Leaders are held accountable through a plurality of biblically qualified, ordained, Spirit-filled men. We are part of the Federation of Reformed Churches. We also closely align in faith and practice with the CREC (Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches). We welcome and seek the fellowship, unity, accountability, charity, and edification with and from all Bible-believing churches, pastors, and Christians. The Body of Christ is greater than our own denominational affiliation. We pray for and seek the unity of the Church of Christ, without compromise. You do not have to be 'Presbyterian' to be a member of our church, or have to agree with every point of doctrine—you simply must be a Christian! COVENANTAL — Christians are encouraged to baptize their children. We practice weekly communion, and all who are baptized (including children) are welcome to partake. We practice a liturgical, covenant renewal worship. We sing Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, traditional and contemporary, with a rotation of guitar, piano, organ, flute, and a capella.
