Our Distinctives

The emphasis of our teaching and pastoring is focused on what it means to know the love of God and to live in His love in ways that foster genuine community. The call of the Church is to not only proclaim God's love but to show herself as evidence of his supernatural love by how we love one another. (John 13:33, 34; 1 John 3:13)

We seek to be an environment that expresses a life in the Spirit reflected in the early Church and to renew movements that fit the ideal presented in the book of Acts ...

They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. 44 And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; 45 and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. 46 Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. Acts 2:42-47 NAS95

Our standard of measure for "success" is love. If we are not growing in God's love, we are not seeking Christ as our Pastor but our own plan and our own "church" not His.
