Biblically Based
We seek to be a believing fellowship guided by God's inspired Word as the basis for all ministry and mission.

Prayer
We desire to orient our minds, wills and affections toward our Heavenly Father in all that we do. We know that only in deeper love, relationship, dependence, obedience and openness can we effectively live and serve. We yearn, therefore, to be people of prayer who communicate with, and respond to, God's loving will for our lives. We further desire to be a group of people who, with singleness of mind, pray for spiritual awakening within people who are separated from God and revival within the church. We believe that God desires to renew us in order that the Body of Christ might be used more fully for God's kingdom plans.

Transformational Ministry
We seek to educate, challenge, grow and stretch every person so that our lives will be radically changed as we yield to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Lifelong Spiritual Growth
We recognize our faith to be an ongoing journey toward maturity in Christ. We, therefore, encourage one another to be open to God's continual shaping of our lives through personal Bible study, prayer and practice of the spiritual disciplines. We pray and seek growth in holiness, in deeper relationship with God and in commitment to live as Kingdom people. We will work to develop ministries for all ages that support personal spiritual development.

Body of Christ
We are filled with gratitude that we have been called into community. We will exhort one another to live out this reality by building relationships based upon deep commitment, trust, forgiveness, positive encouragement, love, mutual care, accountability and truthfulness. We will seek to honor our Lord in every aspect of human relationship.

Inspired Initiative
We desire to be led by the Holy Spirit into new ministry opportunities as the Holy Spirit works in our lives to call us to places of service or mission. We value innovation which helps reach people for Christ. We desire to be a church guided not by self-generated programming efforts, but rather by Spirit-led initiatives. We trust that God will lead us into new arenas of ministry by raising up people and resources to do whatever He calls us to do.

Creativity without Compromise
We live in an age that demands new ways of engaging people with the message of God's love and fostering a climate for spiritual growth through God’s power and leading. We encourage creativity in all areas of ministry, and we are open to trying new approaches even at the risk of sometimes failing. But we will be attentive to the boundary between creativity and compromise when it comes to the truth of our faith and good news of Jesus Christ. We will not compromise the message for the sake of pleasing people, for we believe our Lord is honored when we faithfully proclaim the full truth of God's grace to us.

Empowered Leadership
Following the model of Jesus as a servant leader, we wish to grow a broad spectrum of leaders who seek to follow Christ as the Head of the Church.  We desire in prayer to know His will, show flexibility in the face of the changing demands confronting the church today and make strong efforts to unite our church in a common vision for ministry. We are committed to intentional leadership development that will enable all that are gifted in this way to participate.

Every Member Ministry
We follow the model of Jesus in growing disciples who see themselves as ministers of Christ. We wish to help each person discover his or her gifting and call for ministry and to equip empower and mobilize them for meaningful service.

Excellence
We strive for excellence in all that we do, not for self-satisfaction or pride, but because our Lord is worthy of our best efforts and attention.

Staffing
We will call to service (either part-time or full-time) staff members who are: committed to Jesus Christ, highly competent in their area of ministry, relationally strong with people, gifted with excellence in biblical teaching and discipling, and equipped to recruit, train and coach lay people.
