Our purpose as individuals and as a church is to glorify God with a whole-hearted, principled obedience to His Holy Word.   We believe that our purpose may be summarized in three main areas: Worship, Evangelism, and Discipleship. 
 

Worship:

Our worship service is designed to glorify God in accordance with His Word through expository preaching of the Holy Scripture, the singing of hymns, the giving of tithes and offerings, and corporate prayer.  We endeavor in our service to offer Him worship which will be pleasing in His sight even as it edifies His children.

 

Evangelism:

Our desire is to reach out to our community and bring to men and women the good news of free forgiveness of sin through the life and sacrificial death of Jesus Christ.  Our vision is not limited to our immediate geographic surroundings.  Rather, we hold a world view which stirs us to support missionaries who are sent out to spread the Gospel to other places.

 

Discipleship:

Through worship, fellowship and ministry we endeavor, by God’s enabling, to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Pet. 3:18) so as to become effective witnesses for Him, “being fruitful in every good work” (Col. 1:10).

We believe that critical to the process of discipleship is not only the exposition of biblical truth but also the exemplification of such truth, particularly by those who are in positions of spiritual authority (cf. 1 Tim. 4:16; Tit. 2:7). Accordingly, our leadership is held to a high standard of godliness and accountability. Because Christian discipleship is nurtured in community with other believers (cf. Eph. 3:14-18; 4:12-16)), we emphasize the need for mutual love for one another as well as respect for those who are in positions of spiritual leadership (1 Thess. 5:12-15).

 

Part of discipleship involves being part of a church which is governed according to scriptural principles.  As a part of that discipline, we are responsible to our officers (elders and deacons). We believe that it is essential for a church to work cooperatively in formal association with other like-minded churches.  We maintain such a relationship via our affiliation with ARBCA.

 
 

By the grace of God, we desire to see the testimony of New Testament Christianity carried to, and lived out before, a lost and dying world.  We invite all to come and join with us in worshipping our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ!
