Our Beliefs
foundational values of our Christian faith
We believe that church is more than just a building.
It’s a family, a celebration of diversity, a community that reaches out and crosses over social divides, a message of grace and truth, a place to come as you are and be together
with one central purpose:
to follow Jesus.
Vision Statement:
To build a culture of biblically sound believers who are equipped to impact our region and the world for Christ.
