Vision

God has given us a vision for ministry in our region that is articulated by the letters of the word ACTS. Not only is it our desire to model after the power of the first century church that can be read about in Acts 2, but also the four letters of the word state our four word vision:

Add, Connect, Train and Send.  We are an ACTS church.


WHAT WE BELIEVE

1. We believe the Bible is God’s Word, without error and the final  authority for our lives.

2. We believe in the One, living, and true God as eternally being  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

3. We believe God is the Creator of all things.

4. We believe Jesus Christ is God’s Son, born of the Virgin Mary,  and that He died on the cross for our sins and arose from the  grave three days later.

5. We believe every person is separated from God because of sin  and needs the Savior, Jesus Christ.

6. We believe the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from all sin, and that through His blood we are saved, by His grace, not by our works.

7. We believe the Holy Spirit lives within all who have received Jesus Christ by faith. We believe the Holy Spirit equips us in power to live according to God’s Word, bestowing spiritual gifts to man for God’s glory.

8. We believe that all who have received Christ by faith make up the Church and the Church is God’s family. We believe the Scriptures encourage believers to meet regularly to worship, pray, teach the Word, and to share gifts and talents. We believe the Church is to carry the gospel by word, deed, and power to the world.

9. We believe that when we die our spirit will go to be with God until  our body is resurrected.

10. We believe that Jesus Christ is going to return to this earth soon to judge the living and the dead.
