OUR Mission-
To be a "Book of Acts" church in principle, practice, and power, transforming lives and impacting our community.
Spirit Filled Lifestyle
We believe that living a Christ-like life requires a spirit-filled lifestyle, which is both empowering and essential. We discover our true purpose through spirit-led prayer, worship, and the use of spiritual gifts, as well as through spirit-led preaching and teaching as found in the book of Acts.
Obedience to the Gospel
We believe the gospel message found in the book of Acts is transformative and the only template for salvation and Christian life. The power of the gospel lies in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which triumphed over death, hell, and the grave, allowing us to experience new life.
The body of Christ
We believe the church is the body of Christ, with each member uniquely created for a specific purpose, and that Jesus Christ is the one and only head of His body. Furthermore, we recognize that community and unity are essential components of being a part of the body of Christ. We call this the church, and it was founded in Acts chapter 2.
Only one life.
Your story deserves a better ending.
