OUR DISTINCTIVE MARKS

WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe that the marks of a maturing church are FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE.
Colossians 1:3-6 We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints; because of the hope laid up for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of truth, the gospel which has come to you, just as in all the world also it is constantly bearing fruit and increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth.
Therefore, we place a high emphasis on the verse-by-verse teaching of God’s Word, that our FAITH may grow. Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
We live in HOPE and anticipation of the return of Jesus Christ, for He is our Blessed Hope. Titus 2:13 Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus
We desire the fullness of His Spirit in our lives, for the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE. By our love shall all men know that we are His disciples. Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.
We believe that the only true basis for Christian fellowship is His AGAPE LOVE, which is greater than any difference we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians. -
John 13:35 & 1 Corinthians 13 By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.
We believe WORSHIP of God should be:
Colossians 1:3-6 We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints; because of the hope laid up for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of truth, the gospel which has come to you, just as in all the world also it is constantly bearing fruit and increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth.

We believe WORSHIP of God should be:
- Spiritual ... therefore, we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit in our worship.
- Inspirational ... therefore, we give great place to music and the arts in our worship.
- Intelligent ... therefore, our services are designed with a major emphasis upon clear teaching through the Word.
- Fruitful ... therefore, we look for His love as the supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshiping.
