Our Beliefs
The word Theology simply means to “study about God”. Our hope is that each believer desires to do this with passion. We affirm these doctrines in our church, not to bring division, but clarity to what each Christian should believe and search out for themselves. We also affirm that every line of scripture radically points to Jesus Christ and His work in our lives, this should be the filter in which all scripture is read and studied.
Structure
We believe the leadership structure of an organization is very important—it's more than administration—because strategic structures provide the best opportunity for an organization to be healthy. Our structure was not an afterthought—it was the result of a great deal of Biblical examination, due diligence and prayerful consideration.
