I – Intimacy with God. Each of us were made for intimacy with God, communicating with Him, and hearing His voice.

“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.” (John 1:14-18 & 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18)
3. We believe that all mankind are lost in sin and need to turn from it and trust personally in the Savior, Jesus Christ, all need to be born a new by the Holy Spirit’s power into God’s family.
“Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.” (John 3:5-7 & Ephesians 2:1-10)

“Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.” (Matthew 25:31-46)
6. We believe in unity for all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and seek community together. We want to become more like Him in every way, who is head of His body, the Church. We are called to love Him and one another and are enabled to do this only as His life flows through us.
“Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all it’s many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.” (1 Corinthians 12:12-13 & Matthew 22:37-40)
