About Us

While there are far too many "additional beliefs" to mention, there are some that are helpful to those searching for a church family.

Regarding Church Diversity:
We believe that the local church is the Kingdom of God present in a broken and fallen world, a glimpse of what His Kingdom was meant to be and one day will be. The Kingdom of God is diverse, including people from all tribes, nations and tongues. The local church should be as diverse as its community, a reflection of the people who live there. Therefore the local church should not only be open to all people in its community, but it should strive to reach and include the diverse people of its community as well. This diversity includes racial, cultural, socio-economic, and age diversity.

Regarding Marriage and Sexuality:
We believe and affirm that the term “marriage” has only one meaning: a single, exclusive, covenantal union between one man and one woman, for life, sanctioned by God as delineated in Scripture. We believe and affirm from the teaching of Scripture that God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. We believe and affirm from the teaching of Scripture that any other form of sexual conduct, such as adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bisexuality, gender reassignment, bestiality, incest, pedophilia, polygamy, or pornography is sinful and offensive to God.

We believe and affirm that in order to preserve the function and integrity of the Church as the local body of Christ, and to provide a biblical role model to the community, it is imperative that all Church Partners, those employed by the Church, and those who serve as volunteers in any capacity, shall abide by and agree to this Statement of Biblical Belief Regarding Marriage and Sexuality and conduct themselves accordingly by the grace of God.

We understand that because of sin and brokenness, disordered desires exist in all of us. Our goal in these matters is to pursue truth and love, and to abandon neither in favor of the other. As in all matters of faith and life, our elders are available to encourage you in how to live life in a way that pursues God’s glory and honors His design for marriage and sexuality.

Regarding the Consumption of Alcohol:
We believe that Scripture is clear: drunkenness is a sin and often leads to other sins. We further believe that while there is freedom for the believer to consume alcohol in moderation, the Bible clearly teaches that even freedoms should, at times, be set aside for the good of others.We are all accountable to God for our actions and all of our actions must spring forth from faith. For some, faith will lead to abstinence. For others, it will lead to moderation. Regardless of our convictions, let us remember to do all things to the glory of God. (Romans 14:13-23; Colossians 2:16-17).

Regarding Church Discipline:
Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 18:15–20 calls His disciples to pursue a straying brother or sister with humility and a spirit of reconciliation. This pursuit reflects the heart of the Lord, who in Matthew 9:36–38 is moved with compassion for the harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. The goal of church discipline is not punishment, but restoration — a turning from sin (repentance) and a turning toward right relationship with God and others (reconciliation).

This process must be rooted in the humility Christ calls for in Matthew 18:1–14, a humility ultimately demonstrated in His crucifixion for the rescue of His wandering people.There is no one-size-fits-all approach to shepherding. Every situation requires humility, love, wisdom, and discernment. We seek to recognize the imago Dei — the image of God — in all parties involved, listening well and pointing each one to the love of Christ. Our aim is always the good of the individual, the family, and the whole body of believers.In many cases, church elders or staff may never be involved. Sometimes professional or pastoral counseling may be helpful in guiding someone toward repentance and reconciliation. In other cases, leadership may need to walk alongside someone for months, patiently and prayerfully pointing them to Jesus.

We recognize that church discipline may, in rare cases, lead to the removal of a member from partnership and fellowship. This is never a rushed decision. In nearly all cases, we must move slowly and prayerfully through any process that could lead to such a step. Throughout the pursuit of reconciliation, we will humbly pray for, work toward, and look for the Holy Spirit’s work in bringing about repentance and restoration.
