Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised,
And His greatness is unsearchable.

Revelation 4:1
“Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honour and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created.”

No one, and nothing, compares to God.  
He is indescribably awesome, and worthy of our trust, praise, adoration, devotion, and love.

Psalm 25:4-5
Make me know Your ways, O LORD;
Teach me Your paths.
Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
For You I wait all the day.

2 Peter 1:2-3
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.

for your consideration

It isn’t about being the best, or being excellent.  
It’s about living a life that honours the Father, glorifies the Son, and walks in the Spirit by faith.

John 17:3
This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

1 Peter 2:9

The Good News is what’s needed to address all the bad news we encounter in this world.  
There is hope, joy, freedom & purpose because of His love, grace, peace & mercy.

1 John 1:3-4
What we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete.

Hebrews 10:23-25
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

for your consideration

We all long to be accepted, to be known, to be loved, to belong.  
We don’t want to merely attend something, or simply be involved, 
but to be genuinely present, investing in others and in the things that really do matter:  
authentic, caring relationships.

Ephesians 2:10
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

1 Peter 4:10
As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

for your consideration

We’re made for more than the here and now.
We’re here for something more than just making a difference.
We’ve been so wonderfully blessed so that we may be a blessing to others.
This honours God.

Our Key Objectives

Exodus 15:11
“Who is like You among the gods, O LORD?
Who is like You, majestic in holiness,
Awesome in praises, working wonders?”

Joshua 24:15

“If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

for your consideration

Jesus pronounced that the greatest commandment is to 
“love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.”

Psalm 1:1-2
How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
But his delight is in the law of the LORD,

for your consideration

Living well is walking in line with God’s ways,  
with discernment, prudence, understanding, wisdom, insight, knowledge, and humility.

Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying,
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I commanded you;
and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

John 17:20-21

“I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.”

for your consideration

Good News is Great News when we share it  with those who really need to hear it.  
Sometimes we share it through acts of kindness, through bold words, or compassion.

Acts 2:41-47
So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls.  They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.  And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common;  and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.  Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favour with all the people.  And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.

1 John 1:1-4

What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life — and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us — what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.  These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete.

for your consideration

Being with others ought to be more than about time and geography.  
Our lives intersect & overlap, and we find in one another, God’s wonderful blessings 
in a community of faith & obedience, love & truth, and through connections 
of hope & peace, encouragement & comfort, perspective & wisdom.

Ephesians 2:6-10
… and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.  For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

Philippians 1:6

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

for your consideration

Each one of us, in God’s eyes, is a masterpiece!  
In actuality, we are, collectively and corporately, His masterpiece!  
Yet, we’re still a work in progress, growing through each “teachable moment” 
whether accomplishing much, or failing miserably.  
So, we trust in Him to direct us and to transform us; 
to address our character and redeem our past; 
to work through us and reach those who need hope.

Our Staff

We are led by an amazing team of people, each of whom we genuinely believe 
the Lord has graciously placed here by His sovereign wisdom and purpose. 
We are here to serve you. If you need anything, just ask.

Our Leadership

We are led by Member-elected individuals who serve with a commitment 
to responsibility, authority, and accountability, and a devotion to the Lord.

Our Affiliation

We believe it is important to work together with other like-minded churches.
