What we believe...and why it matters.
In a world full of opinions and so much uncertainty, it is so important to be grounded in Truth. God's Word is the solid foundation on which we can build our lives and make the best decision for our future.

Our Responsibility
As believers, there are four primary responsibilities we are called to uphold: Prayer, Outreach, Reading the Bible, and Fellowship.
Daily Prayer: Seeking God in prayer is a fundamental necessity of maintaining our relationship with Him.
Outreach: Sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others.
Reading The Bible: Feeding our spirit with the Word of God, and living thereby.
Fellowship: Gathering together in a local assembly of believers for worship and admonition, and spiritually enriching camaraderie with other believers
