Our Values

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” - Mark 12:30 (ESV)


Love God

Loving God is our core value. Loving God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. It is the First Commandment because it is the one that means the most to God. God desires our love and calls us to love Him. He is worthy of all our love. The first commandment teaches us that the purpose of life is loving God.


Love Others

We are called to love and honor each other deeply, from the heart. That is the second commandment. The Lord is looking to see if we will love one another. As St John of the Cross wrote – “in the evening of life, we will be judged on love alone.”


Pursuing Depth

We pursue depth in our faith, seeking to dig a deeper well with God. We aim to grow in both Word and Spirit - studying Scripture diligently and moving in the power of God. Above all, we seek to encounter God’s manifest presence.

Our Beliefs


  • Jesus

    We believe that Jesus is God the Son, who loved us so much that he came to earth to die, taking the penalty for all our wrongdoings upon himself, and rising from the dead to reunite us to God. Jesus promises eternal life for all who believe in him and accept the saving gift of his sacrifice. He will return to reign as our king and will bring back to life all those who have died with faith in him.

  • The Bible

    The Bible is the source of authority for what we believe, teach, and practice as a church. We believe it is the revealed Word of God. The Nicene Creed articulates our statement of faith.

  • Baptism & Communion

    We believe that baptism is an important step in every believer’s spiritual life. Through it, we publicly declare that we are part of God’s family and are committed to following Jesus. We also believe that Jesus taught us to receive his body and blood by eating and drinking bread and wine together in Communion. God uses both of these things to deeply bless our souls.
