Our VISION

Our vision is to glorify God by being a robust, Gospel-centered church that champions Biblical truth and family values, prioritizes intentional discipleship, and passionately engages in evangelistic and missionary efforts to expand God’s Kingdom.

Our Mission

Our mission is to be disciples and make disciples as we exalt Christ, edify His church, and evangelize our communities for the glory of God

Our Core Values

Our Core Values are the things that have drawn us together. These embody the priorities in our walk with Christ, our relationship with each other, and our community. We are:

Biblically Orthodox

Unwavering Commitment to Scriptural Truth and Constant Reformation to that Truth. We stand firmly on the authority of the Bible and are committed to continual reformation, aligning our beliefs and practices with Scriptural truth reflected in our confession of faith. (Timothy 3:16-17)

Disciple-Making

Intentional Discipleship and Radical Obedience. Building upon the foundation of Scripture, we challenge each other in personal growth in faith and action, guided by the teaching of the Word of God in public gatherings, small groups, and one-on-one relationships so we are used by God to multiply the faith in others. (Matthew 28:19-20 & James 1:22)

Culturally Vigilant

Apologetic Readiness and Spirited Defense of the Faith: We equip our members with the tools to defend their faith in a hostile culture, a natural extension of deepening our understanding and commitment to Christ. (Peter 3:15 & Jude 1:3)

Multi-Generational

Generational Faith-Building rooted in God's design for the Family: We strive to be a church family that not only passes faith from generation to generation but also cherishes

and practices God's design for family and biblical gender roles, attending to the unique spiritual needs of every person in every age group. (Deuteronomy 6:6-7 & Ephesians 5:22-33, Matthew 19:4)

Evangelistic

Zealous Evangelism Resulting in a Thriving Church, Church Multiplication, and Missionary Engagement: We extend our community focus outward, encouraging the growth of our church and its global impact through evangelism and missions for the glory of God. (Acts 1:8 & Acts 9:31)

Beliefs & Affiliations

Our belief in God’s Word is the non-negotiable upon which all our activities and commitments are built. As a summary of what we teach from the Bible, our Confession of Faith provides the theological clarity and Scriptural lens through which we approach our Mission, Core Values, and Vision.

Our Confession of Faith

White Portrait Frame with Rustic Wooden Borders

The 1689 Baptist Confession, was adopted with the goal of clarifying a Baptist identity. It is not a replacement for the scripture, or on the same plane as the Bible, but for generations, it has been a faithful tool to point us to the Word of God and summarize the principles we find there. With an emphasis on ‘sola scriptura’ and the sovereignty of God, it serves as a guide for all we teach.

Conservative Baptist Network

At our church, we are proud to cultivate a community of faith that values a strong commitment to biblical, conservative Baptist principles. We are an autonomous congregation that has chosen to cooperate with the Conservative Baptist Network. This partnership reflects our shared dedication to upholding traditional biblical teachings and values within a Baptist tradition, and to start churches that share our beliefs and passions as we proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Leadership

We are an autonomous, congregational church with local, plural elder leadership. While large financial decisions, and the adoption or change of doctrinal and organizational documents, and membership issues are affirmed by our congregation, we empower our leaders to lead with zeal.

In the New Testament, the terms for pastors, elders or overseers are used interchangeably. These men are qualified by scripture and are tasked with the leadership, organization, teaching, pastoral care, and discipleship of the church (Eph 4:11, 1 Pet 5:2). "Deacons" on the other hand are appointed for service and administration, attending to practical needs as they arise in the church (1 Tim 3:8-13, Acts 6:1-4).

Pastors/Elders focus on leadership, doctrine, and direction while deacons serve to support the church's practical needs under the leadership of the elders. Both are specific biblical offices that work together for the church's well-being.
