The Basics

A household of God, with a local community vision, growing together by building on the foundation of Jesus Christ

To be a fellowship of believers that first love the Lord with all our hearts and out of response to His love, act with Christ-like love to our brothers, sisters and community

You are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. (Ephesians 2:19-22)

Christ Our Cornerstone

To build a modern Church that is founded solely on the Cornerstone of Jesus Christ and our four core distinctives

GOD TOLD US TO BUILD A NEW CHURCH WITH A RENEWED FOCUS ON THESE 4 DISTINCTIVES

What We Believe
Our Leadership
Founding Principles
Our Story (His Story)

Rooted in Christ

Not only do we want to be a church that builds lives on God's unfailing Word but we want to be a people who know the Word and can apply it with discernment in our drifting world. We are dedicated to sharpening each other in our walk with Christ and want to spur one another on in spiritual growth. We are dedicated to caring for the 99 as much as we are to the one that strayed. We are dedicated to helping build the spiritual discipline of reading scripture. It is only through the understanding of Christ's love for us and obedience to His headship and precepts that we know fully how to love and serve our community with love, justice and mercy.

Guided by the Spirit

We may look different being this intentional about Jesus Christ being Lord over our church but we want to daily welcome His spirit into our midst and be purposeful about making The Word the foundation of our ministry. This is God's church and we want to give Him his rightful place of headship over our leadership as we look to make Him the foundation for how we live, serve and lead. We recognize our imperfections as servants of Christ, and will constantly fail in our conscious attempt to lead and obey, but we serve a God who never fails us or forsakes us. We desire to be a church that can sacrifice our will to the Will of God and sacrifice our truth for the Truth of God.

Investing in the Family

We don't only want to make disciples of Christ in our communities, we want to help make disciples of Christ in our homes and families. We aim to provide resources to help parents disciple their children well. We want to see families thrive, marriages strengthened and brotherhoods and sisterhoods grown within our church family. God calls us to be real with one another and part of authenticity means sharing our failures as a community, giving testimonies of God's goodness, sharpening our friends and spurring each other on in love. We aim to be a church that helps root our congregants with biblical tools on how to live for Christ in a drifting world.

Early Church Model

Like the church in Acts we want to be dedicated to: 
  • Biblical Teaching
  • Believer Fellowship
  • Breaking of Bread together
  • Prayer
(Acts 2:42)
We want to produce the practical fruits of:
  • Togetherness/Everything in Common (unity in Christ, purpose and message)
  • Authentic Communal Sharing (both of personal needs and personal belongings)
  • A dedication to Christian Community that is not just on Sundays.
  • Always having an Attitude of Praise on our lips

    (Acts 2:44-47)
