We believe that salvation comes only through receiving Jesus Christ as savior, that He died for our sins so we can experience a life of fulfillment and happiness. We believe that salvation means more than just getting into heaven someday. It means complete restoration to what God intended for us from the beginning of creation. God wants us to be healthy, prosperous, happy and whole in every part of our lives. We love to experience God's presence through contemporary worship and the study of His Word.

We are part of the family of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. We are "foursquare" in the full meaning of the word: i.e., forthright, unequivocating, solidly and boldly presenting a firm stand. Our firm stand pertains to the elements of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In a day when a diluted message is producing deluded people, we stress a thorough going proclamation of the Word of God, emphasizing the four essential ministries of the Lord Jesus to those who will believe.

Jesus Christ the Savior • John 3:16; Acts 4:12
Jesus Christ the Baptizer • Mark 1:8; Acts 2:4
Jesus Christ the Healer • Hebrews 13:8; James 5:14-15
Jesus Christ the Coming King • John 14:3; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

Vision Statement

We seek to teach the Word of God and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, shaping and equipping our church family so that believers will be nourished and empowered to fulfill their God-ordained, purpose and ministry. We seek to prepare people who care for one another, and who sensitively reach to our City and our World that all may be saved, being brought to a living faith in Christ as Savior and Lord.

 

Core Values
Our mission is accomplished through keeping focus on 12 core values.
1. Worship as Priority (Ps. 5:7-8, 11-12; 22:3; 34:1-3; 100:4; Rom. 12:1; Heb. 13:15)
The worship of God is our primary ministry, pursued with biblically motivated zeal and offered in reverence with humility, childlikeness and joyfulness.


2. God's Word as Authority (Dt. 4:2; Ps. 19:7; Prv. 30:6; Mt. 5:18; Rom. 7:12; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pt. 1:21; Heb. 4:12; Jas. 1:22-25; Rev. 22:18-19)
The Word of God is our final authority and source of life-guidance, calling us to a faith-filled, obedient, godly life-style.


3. God's Love Bringing Wholeness (Ex. 15:25-26; 23:25 Ps. 34:19, 103:2-3; Is. 53:3; Mal. 4:2; Rom. 8:1-2; Eph. 2:14; 2 Tim. 1:7; Jas. 5:13-16)
A Holy Spirit-begotten climate of God's love is the atmosphere which most readily begets living hope, fosters true health and produces practical holiness, as Jesus' Cross points us to a path of discipleship, a life free of condemnation, at rest in God's grace.


4. Ministry to the Family (Gen. 2:24; Ps. 139; Matt. 19:4-5; Mk. 10:6-9; Rom. 1:18-32; 1 Cor. 7:2; Eph. 5)
The biblically modeled family is God's foundational social and governmental unit and is to be nourished, served and preserved as such. Fundamental to this value is the sanctity of marriage, biblical sexuality and human life.


5. Racial Harmony in God's Kingdom (1 Cor. 12:13; Gal. 3:27-29; Eph. 2:11-22; Col. 3:10-11)
Under God our Creator, ethnic diversity is respected; and under Christ our Redeemer, all humanity is invited to answer the Bible's call to the values and virtues of the Kingdom of God.


6. Unity of Christ's Body (Gen. 13:8; Ps. 133: 1; 1 Cor. 12; Eph. 4:1-6; Col. 3:12-14; Heb. 13:1)
The unity of the Church—Christ's global, many-faceted Body--is to be earnestly sought and unselfishly served. This value for which Jesus prayed may find its answer in our relatioships.


7. Constant Prayer unto Fruitfulness (Ps. 55:16-17; Lk. 18:1; Eph. 6:18; 1 Thess. 5:17; 1 Tim. 2:1-2; Jas. 5:16-18)
Steadfast prayer and faithful intercession allow us to enter a partnership with God Almighty. They are the foundational means of personal and corporate fruitfulness in life, service and ministry.


8. Spirit-Filled Witness and Service (Is. 43:12, 44:8, 52:7; Matt. 28:20; Mk. 16:15; Acts 1:8, 22:15; Rom. 10:14-17; 2 Tim. 4:2; 1 Pet. 3:15; Rev. 12:11)
The ministry of the Church is to be conveyed through the means of maturing believers at every age level, social status and marital state: living the spirit-formed life for empowered witness and equipped in the Word and His gifts for faithful service.


9. Vitality of the Spiritual Language (Mk. 16:17; Acts 2:1-4; Rom. 8:26; 1 Cor. 12:1-11, 14; Eph. 6:18)
The biblical exercise of Holy Spirit enabled supernatural utterance is vital for prayer, praise, intercession, and edification and is a desirable and an available resource for every believer.


10. Commitment to Spiritual Warfare (Jud. 5:20; Jer. 1:10; Mt. 11:12; Jn. 14: 2 Cor. 6:7, 10:3-6; Eph. 6:10-18; 1 Tim. 1:18)
The reality of the invisible realm of spiritual conflict demands biblical confrontation through prayer and ministry with discernment and love; that the triumph of Calvary is not minimized, but applied by such means.


11. A Spirit of Giving and Stewardship (Gen. 28:22; Lev. 27:30; Deut. 15:10; Ps. 15; Prv. 3:9-10, 23, 11:25; Mal. 3:8-12; 2 Cor. 9:6-12)
To live is to give—in tithes, offerings and all life's resources. We steward what we have been given of time, gifts and finances, seeing these as being from God's hand, yet as ours to obediently distribute.


12. Commitment to Sound Doctrine (Rom. 6:17; 1 Tim. 6:3-6; 2 Tim. 1:13; Tit. 1:913-14, 2:1)
We adhere to the Declaration of Faith of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel; always living in the spirit of the maxim—In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.
