Church Covenant

BECAUSE I BELIEVE:  
 

  • I HAVE BEEN SAVED FOR THE GLORY OF GOD BY THE GRACE OF GOD THROUGH FAITH IN THE PERSON AND WORK OF JESUS CHRIST. (EPH. 2:4-10)

  • I HAVE BEEN LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO JOIN THIS CHURCH FAMILY AND SUBMIT TO ITS AUTHORITY, DOCTRINE, AND DISCIPLINE IN MY LIFE. (MATT. 18:15-20)

  • OUR MISSION AS A CHURCH IS TO GLORIFY GOD BY MAKING DISCIPLES HERE AND EVERYWHERE THROUGH WORSHIPPING, STUDYING, PRAYING, SERVING, AND WITNESSING. (1COR. 10:31; MATT. 28:18-20; ACTS 2:42-47)
