Community Impact
God's mission for the Church extends beyond the four walls of our places of worship. We are called to faithfully serve in the communities we call home.
By extending gospel ministries and pursuing the gospel transformation of communities, we live out Article 8 of the EFCA Statement of Faith.
Christian Living
We believe that God's justifying grace must not be separated from His sanctifying power and purpose. God commands us to love Him supremely and others sacrificially, and to live out our faith with care for one another, compassion toward the poor and justice for the oppressed. With God’s Word, the Spirit’s power, and fervent prayer in Christ’s name, we are to combat the spiritual forces of evil. In obedience to Christ’s commission, we are to make disciples among all people, always bearing witness to the gospel in word and deed.
