Statement of Faith | Core Values | Vision | Ministry Goals
Although there is a great deal of diversity within our movement, all member churches are committed to the same Biblical values.
God's grace through Jesus Christ is the basis and power, not only of our personal lives, but also of our ministry.
Our aspiration is that our ministries will be marked by a wholehearted devotion to God, through prayer and by studying, obeying and teaching His Word.
Our ultimate goal and mission is to reach the whole world with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to make disciples of all the nations.

We place a priority upon raising up pastors and other leaders of Christ-like character within the local church.
We desire our ministry to be marked by a Christ-like, selfless love, loyalty, and unity with fellow believers.
