 Who We Are... Our Beliefs We affirm the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God and the basis for our beliefs. In addition, we subscribe to the doctrinal statement of The Baptist Faith and Message, as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in 1963, and amended in 2000. You can read the contents of this statement at http://www.sbc.net/bfm/default.asp. Our Mission Jesus’ mission is our mission. When we consider Jesus’ life and mission, our purpose in life, both individually as a believer and corporately as a church, becomes clear. Jesus’ desire was to glorify God and therefore that should be our desire (Jn. 13:31; 17:4). How do we accomplish this? Since Christ glorified God through His life it only reasons that we glorify God by living the Christ-life (Galatians 2:20). Therefore, our purpose is clear: to glorify God by living the Christ-life! Our Values Our core values are easily remembered by the formula, W4C, which stands for the following: The WORSHIP of God…we passionately love God and therefore seek intimacy with God (Mt. 22:36-38). Our strategy includes: Worship Service, Prayer Service, Home Groups, and a Personal Quiet Time.  Our Staff
