1.  Centrality Of The Word Of God - We believe that Scripture is the only inspired and authoritative guide for faith and practice.  Therefore, we value preaching and teaching which is Scripture-driven, applicable and relevant to people's lives, expository in nature and reformed in theology.  "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

 2. Authentic Worship - We believe that our greatest purpose in life is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.  Therefore, we desire to worship God with faithfulness to Scripture and with passion, relevance, creativity, and excellence. "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.  God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth" (John 4:23-24). 

3. Intimate Community - We believe that Christ built His Church to be a family with Christ as the Head.  Jesus called us to be unified with one another (John 17:20-23) and to love one another (John 15:10-12).  Through our love, others will be attracted to our community and to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Therefore, we actively seek to promote fellowship, integrity, and honesty in our relationships with one another and warm acceptance of visitors.  We also value every member of our community: children, youth, and all adults regardless of culture, status or situation in life. 

4.  Persistent Prayer - We recognize that God delights in working powerfully through the prayers of His people.  We believe that all of our work depends upon the faithfulness and power of God and not on ourselves.  Therefore, we seek to pray frequently with each other and for each other.  "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective"  (James 5:16). 

5. Kingdom-Building Mindset - We believe that Jesus commissioned His Church to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18-20) to fill His kingdom with believers who are growing and active in their faith.  Therefore, we strive to equip every member for the work of evangelism and discipleship.  This involves building relationships with neighbors and co-workers, reaching out to the needy in our community with real life-on-life involvement, actively and creatively exposing people to the Gospel of Christ, and building people into maturing followers of Christ.  "We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.  We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God" (2 Corinthians 5:20).  "We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ" (Colossians 1:28).
