Our community is richly diverse, with people of different ages and backgrounds coming together to worship and serve together.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
At the Heart of Everything We Do
There is only one God: the creator of the heavens and the earth, and of all mankind. This one God is Father in creation, Son in redemption, and Holy Ghost in regeneration and activity. He is the First and the Last and beside Him there is no God.
​
Salvation consists of deliverance from sin through the blood of Jesus Christ. This is accomplished through repentance from sin, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance. This experience is called the New Birth (John 3:5 and Acts 2:38); You must also continue in the Apostles' doctrine while living a holy and consistent life.
