Our Core Beliefs
Exalt
Believing in the Trinity: Father, Son, Holy Spirit
We believe in the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—working in perfect unity to bring about salvation and grace. Our worship is a response to this truth, where we gather to honor God and uplift each other. Through our morning services, we engage in biblically based teachings that guide us in living out our faith and sharing the love of Christ with the world. Together, we strive to exalt Him in all we do.
“For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.” 1 John 5:7
Equip
Discipleship & Biblical Counseling
We believe in equipping our church family for spiritual growth and ministry through discipleship and evangelism, all grounded in the Word of God. We prioritize biblical counseling for healing and restoration and value equipping our children in a nurturing environment, empowering one another to fulfill our God-given purpose.
“For the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” Ephesians 4:12
Evangalize
Reaching Locally & Globally
We believe in the call to evangelize and share the gospel with all people. Our commitment to missions includes Bible Club lessons for incarcerated individuals, correspondence ministry for them and their families, and overseas mission trips. Through outreach efforts like Operation Christmas Child, we seek to bring hope and compassion to those in need, fulfilling our mission to love and serve others in the name of Christ.
“And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” 2 Timothy 2:2
Engage
Life Groups | Men & Women’s Ministry
We believe in engaging our church family through meaningful connections and community. Our Life Groups foster fellowship and spiritual growth, while our men’s and women’s ministries, youth ministry, and children's ministry ensure all ages are equipped to grow in faith and serve others. Together, we create a vibrant community where everyone is encouraged to participate and contribute.
“Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.”
1 Thessalonians 5:11
