our vision & values

Vision

Our vision is that we as a church would be grounded biblically, growing together, giving back, and going out.

Statement of Biblical Authority

For the purposes of church doctrine, practice, and discipline, our Body of Elders is the church's interpretive authority on the Bible's meaning and applications. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God, speaks  with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind.
