We are committed to being a community of worshippers who, led by the Holy spirit, glorifies God, magnifies His Son and edifies His people as every member celebrates in our worship service.

Psalm 95:1-6 – O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. 3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. 4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. 5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. 6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO A LIFE OF HOLINESS, WHICH MUST BE THE FOCUS OF EACH MEMBER. WE WILL STRIVE TO OBEY ALL OF GOD’S COMMANDMENTS, APPLY THE PRINCIPLES OF JESUS’ TEACHINGS, AND FOLLOW THE LEADING AND GUIDING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR DAILY LIVES.

1 Peter 1:13 -16 –  Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO EVANGELISM THAT IS CONDUCTED WITH A COMPASSIONATE VIGOR AS WE INSPIRE AND EQUIP OUR MEMBERS TO BE WITNESSES FOR CHRIST BY SEEKING THE LOST AND UNCHURCHED.

Matthew 28:18-20 – And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the and of the world. Amen.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO ACCOUNTABILITY AND TO PURSUING EXCELLENCE IN OUR ADMINISTRATION THROUGH SKILLFUL STEWARDSHIP OF OUR TALENTS, TIME, FACILITIES, FINANCES, AND ALL RESOURCES ENTRUSTED TO US BY GOD AND HIS PEOPLE, AT EVERY LEVEL OF THE CHURCH.

Matthew 20:27 – And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO TRAINING MINISTERS AND LAY PERSONS TO BE SKILLED IN LEADERSHIP AND THE WORK OF THE CHURCH, THROUGH TRAINING THAT IS BIBLICALLY BASED, CONTEMPORARY IN ITS APPLICATION AND AIMED AT REALIZING THE VISION OF OUR CHURCH.

Ephesians 4: 10-13  – He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things. 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
