Empowering People to Live the Abundant Life in Jesus Christ

How We Do It

ENCOUNTER GOD

We believe that Abundant Life starts with an encounter with God. There is one God, in three distinct persons. God the Father. God the Son. God the Holy Spirit. Our first encounter with God begins with the Holy Spirit calling us to Him (JN 6:44). And we believe, that continual encounters with God are needed and necessary for the believer, even after salvation. This is why we create several spaces on Sunday’s and Wednesday nights to worship and pray, to seek the presence of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives (2 Cor 13:14).

GROWING DEEPER

We know that growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ is imperative for the Christian (Col 1:28). This is why we develop classes, help with bible reading and encourage Home Group bible studies.

BUILD COMMUNITY

How beautiful to know that our Savior leaves the 99 to find the 1 (Mt 18:10-14). Jesus knows the strength the 99 have together as a family and goes to find the far off to bring them home. We believe that the Church should run together. And we believe that Christ gave us the body to do just that (1 Cor 12:12-14). Some of the ways we do this is by participating in Men’s and Woman’s Ministries, Youth Ministry and Home Groups. Don’t miss the power of biblical, Jesus loving community for your life. We were created for community!

CHANGE THE WORLD

We believe that as the follower of Jesus grows, they can’t help but change the world around them for the cause of Christ! There is nothing small in the Kingdom of God and He has a place for you to Change the World. Whether it's using your gifts on a Sunday morning, on a mission trip, in your workplace or discipling your own child (Rom 12:3-8). The call to Change the World comes from an overflow of what Christ has done, is doing and will continue to do in all of our lives!

What We Believe

WE BELIEVE the Scripture of the Old and New Testament are inspired by God and inerrant in the original text. Scripture is the supreme and final authority in faith and life. Scripture is useful to believers for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness.

WE BELIEVE in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

WE BELIEVE in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, and in His ascension to the right hand of the Father.

WE BELIEVE in the deity of the Holy Spirit as a Person distinct from the Father and Son, and possessing all of the divine attributes. He exalts Christ, convicts people of sin, enlightens, gifts, and empowers believers and the church in worship, evangelism, and service.

WE BELIEVE that man was created in the image of God and that the whole human race fell in the fall of the first Adam and was alienated from God. Only through faith, trusting in Christ alone for salvation, which was made possible by His death and resurrection, are we reconciled to God.

WE BELIEVE in the eternal life of the saved with God in heaven and the eternal separation of the lost in hell.

WE BELIEVE the Lord Jesus is coming again to this earth, personally, bodily, and visibly to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.

WE BELIEVE in the biblical definition of and instructions pertaining to sexual ethics in all circumstances and in the biblical definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman for one lifetime.

WE BELIEVE that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as male or female. These two distinct, complementary genders together reflect the image and nature of God.

WE BELIEVE that all human beings are made in the image of God and thus endowed with intrinsic value. Therefore, we believe in promoting respect for and protecting the worth and dignity of every individual human being, born or unborn, including unborn children from conception; those newly born; persons with disabilities; the elderly; and other vulnerable people, especially those who cannot defend themselves.

WE BELIEVE God longs for everyone to experience His love and joyfully offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking His mercy and forgiveness through the free gift of His son, Jesus Christ.
