Our Vision

To establish a church where the presence of God is experienced, leaders are raised, and communities are transformed through faith, service, and outreach.

Our Beliefs

We believe in the oneness of God who manifested himself to the world as Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost. (Colossians 2:9)

We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God that equips us to face life's challenges with faith and purpose. The word of God inspires transformation and helps us grow into the fullness of who God created us to be. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

We believe in water baptism as a joyful declaration of our new life in Jesus. We believe in the empowering work of the Holy Spirit—a transformative experience that not only brings us vibrant expressions of faith but also grows within us the beautiful fruit of His love. We believe that following Jesus means choosing a life of purposeful dedication, continual growth, and authentic living, marked by a deep desire to be set apart and shine His light. (Acts 2:38, Acts 2:4, John 3:5, Galatians 5:22-23, Romans 12:1, Hebrews 12:14, Leviticus 10:10, 1 Corinthians 6:20)

We believe in and eagerly anticipate the moment when Jesus returns to gather His people. It's a promise of hope, transformation, and eternal life with Him. As believers, we live with expectation, knowing that one day we will be caught up in His presence, experiencing the ultimate victory and joy of being with our Savior forever! (John 14:3, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, I Corinthians 15:51-58)
