​What We Value
We value being Christ-centered in every way. 
     1 Corinthians 12:13 - For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, and all were made to drink of one spirit.

We value the Sacraments {Baptism and the Lord's Supper} for they are part of the Means of Grace that God uses to mark us as Christians.
     'And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.' {Acts 2:42}

We value prayer as a means to communicate with God on a continual {and continuous} basis.
     'Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.' {Philippians 4:6}

We value a spirit of fellowship, as well as a physical display. Christians need to meet, support, and love one another in a genuine and Christ-like manner. In doing this, people grow as a family and put their resources toward the common goal of taking the Kingdom to the world. 
     "But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin."  
  {1 John 1:7}

We value our young ones because they are the future of the church on earth. It is our duty to be in connection with young families through our congregation, community outreach, and the local school systems. Teaching these about Jesus’ love and forgiveness is our standard.
     "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." {Proverbs 22:6}

We value and promote that all people are welcome in and throughout our family. God’s love and grace are what we show toward each person we encounter. 
     "Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love." {1 John 4:8}

We value outreach/evangelism because God wants all people to be saved and have a reconciled relationship with Him through Christ. These are driven by a missional urgency to reach our community, that our ministry is grace-driven, and the constant opportunity to tell people of free salvation in the shadow of the Cross.
     'And He said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel to the whole creation..."' {Mark 16:15}
