We Are Holy Spirit Led

We value encounter over entertainment

“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come.”  (John 16:13-15)

We Are Bible Immersed

We value Scripture over self

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”  (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

We Are Wise Stewards 

We value health over hype

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’  (Matthew 25:21)

We Are Authentic

We value purity over performance

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”  (Matthew 5:8)
