We believe our church (congregation) is to follow the biblical design for The Church which is the community of redeemed believers past, present, and future whose Lord is Jesus Christ and whose mission it is to continue the work He began with the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.  We believe that, as the Body of Christ, the Church is to carry out the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20).  As the Bride of Christ, the Church serves in anticipation of His Second Coming.
