Labels can be misunderstood, but here are a few of our distinguishing characteristics:

​

1. A Christian Church

 

We believe the Bible and are in line with the historic Christian faith that was "once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 3). We are “in Christ” and gather together as a local expression of His body.

 

2. An Evangelical Church

 

We treasure the Bible as God’s very Word and, therefore, as our final authority in all matters of life and doctrine. We also love the gospel, or good news, of Jesus Christ and see it as the central and saving message of the Scriptures.

​

3. A Reformed Church

 

We embrace the general tenets of Reformed Theology. We love God’s sovereignty in all things, especially in our salvation, and His power to keep us to the end! However, we by no means minimize our responsibility to pursue holiness and live lives that please God.

 

4. A Continuationist Church

 

We believe that God, the Holy Spirit, is actively at work building and maturing His Church by glorifying Jesus Christ and giving gifts to each member of His body. We believe that all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in Scripture are still given to believers today and are to be pursued and used in love to bring God glory and bless His Church. ​
