Our supreme desire is to know Christ and to be conformed into His image through the power of the Holy Spirit. We are not a denominational church, and not opposed to denominations - only to their over-emphasis of doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the Body of Christ.

Our supreme desire is to know Christ and to be conformed into His image through the power of the Holy Spirit. We are not a denominational church, and not opposed to denominations - only to their over-emphasis of doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the Body of Christ. We believe that the only true basis of Christian fellowship is His love (Agapé), which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians. The Bible is inspired by God in its entirety, and is without error in the original autographs, a complete and final written revelation from God. (2 Timothy 3:15-17, 2 Peter 1:21) It is authoritative in our lives and is our creed. Therefore, any effort to define the basis of our teaching necessitates emphasis on the whole Word of God as the sole source of our beliefs. Furthermore, it seems unwise to adhere to the labels of much of Christendom, whether it's Fundamentalism, Pentecostal, Calvinism, Armenianism, Charismatic, Dispensational, Reformed, etc. It is unrealistic to think that any individual man-made system of beliefs is completely error free or, conversely, without merit at all. It is therefore our sincere desire to simply teach the Bible, verse by verse, and cover to cover. We trust that the Holy Spirit will lead us to the intended meaning and truth found in God's inspired Word. We believe: worship of God should be spiritual. Therefore: we remain flexible and yielded to the Holy Spirit to direct our worship. We believe: worship of God should be inspirational. Therefore: we give a great place to music in our worship. We believe: worship of God should be intelligent. Therefore: our services are designed with great emphasis upon teaching of the Word of God, that He might instruct us in how He should be worshipped. We believe: worship of God is fruitful. Therefore: we look for His Love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshipping Him.
