What We Believe

The Gospel—God’s revelation of Himself in Jesus Christ—is at the center of our values.
Everything the church stands for grows out of the Gospel. This account of the redemption that was achieved by the life and work of Jesus Christ is the focal point of all Scripture and the reason for our hope. The Gospel must always be cherished and never neglected. When the Gospel bears fruit in us, we are conformed to the image of the central character of the Story—Jesus Christ.
