based preaching and teaching & understand the Bible is our authority (2 Timothy 3:16).
Church Health and Biblical Balance
Church health becomes reality when God's people seek harmony &live consistently. We expect every member to protect the unityof Christ's Church. (Romans 12:16; 1 Peter 3:8)
Global Evangelism We are constant to our founding call to worldwide evangelism,
proclaiming to all that Jesus Christ is the Savior, Healer, and Soon-Coming King (Acts 20:27).
Fellowship and Ministry After people begin their journey with Jesus, we will equip them tofind a ministry based upon their strengths. We want everyone to
serve in some capacity. (1 Corinthians 12:12-27) We also want Hischurch to be the living evidence of His love and power to the world.
