Apart from Jesus Christ, all people are spiritually lost and, because of sin, deserve the judgment of God. However, God gives salvation and eternal life to anyone who trusts in Jesus Christ and in His sacrifice on his or her behalf. Salvation cannot be earned through personal goodness or human effort. It is a gift that must be received by humble repentance and faith in Christ and His finished work on the cross.
Through our worship we seek to bring glory to our Triune God (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit), to ascribe unto God all worth and honor that is due to Him. Also, we seek to consistently bridge the gap culturally between people who believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior and the culture that we presently live in. This is accomplished through prayer, singing, communion, and also in the way that we live our lives to bring glory to God. (Romans 12:1,5)
Communion is a time to reflect upon the suffering of our Savior, Jesus. It is a time to connect with God and each other. Communion is for those who have committed themselves as Christ-followers. We include communion in our worship services and we encourage you to use this time to reflect upon your relationship with God and examine your heart before him.
We believe that prayer is a vital part of our relationship with God. We know that He cares about us and desires that we tell Him what we are going through. Prayer is a powerful resource that we believe God has given us to enrich our relationship with Him in every area of our lives.
Throughout the New Testament, we find water baptism as a public proclamation and symbol of one's personal faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Baptism always accompanies the confession of faith in Christ or follows shortly after that confession. Today, out of obedience to Christ's command, baptism remains an important part of proclaiming one's commitment to Christ.
The imagery of baptism is the washing away of one's sins by water and the process of experiencing Christ's death and resurrection by dying to one's sin and receiving new life. Baptism is also a visible proclamation on the part of the person being baptized that he or she owes complete allegiance to Jesus Christ.
Believing that God calls us to go and make disciples (Matthew 28:19-20), we consistently strive to disciple and be discipled by one another. Through discipling one another we seek that all Christ-followers become spiritually mature through the understanding of God's Word through the power of the Holy Spirit. This does not happen by accident, but by a willed commitment to grow together into mature followers of Christ.
We believe that giving is a part of our worship. We give whole-heartedly and freely to the God that has provided so much for us. Christ-followers need to understand giving is what God wants FOR us; it's not about what He wants FROM us. The fact of the matter is God doesn't need our money. But he knows that giving will benefit us in so many ways!
