Core Beliefs
We up hold four core beliefs that form the foundation for all we are and all we do.
THE GREAT CONFESSION: Confessing that Jesus Christ is both Lord and Savior

THE GREAT COMMANDMENT: That the love of God be our motivation.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets on these two commandments. (Matthew 22:37-39)

THE GREAT COMMITMENT: Being devoted to training God’s people in the Word.

It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets. some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may he built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. (Ephesians 4:11-14)
Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. (Proverbs 22:6)

THE GREAT COMMISSION: Proclaiming the Good News to the lost everywhere.
