WHAT WE DO
Core Values
Our Core Values
Worship
We believe that worship is the central focus of the Christian community. We follow the traditions of the reformed faith, using prayer, the Bible, music, preaching and spiritual reflection to help us understand God’s mighty power and love for us. We share our belief in Christ and strive to bring others to the knowledge that God is worshiped and celebrated here.
Service
We are called to be God’s disciples in the community, the nation and the world. We seek to be committed Christians who serve each other. We believe that ALL have been blessed with a variety of spiritual gifts, and through the use of these gifts we are able to further God’s kingdom here on earth.
Community
We seek to be a community of care and inclusion. We are called upon to welcome, love and encourage everyone. We seek to provide a viable ministry to all people, to strengthen their faith as adults and to encourage the youth to trust the abundant love of Jesus Christ.
Education
We provide opportunities for those who are new to Christianity to explore all aspects of the meaning of being a Christian. We seek to provide opportunities for growth in personal faith and the knowledge of Christ. We fully share our love of the Lord by thoughts, words and deeds, and are constantly seeking to learn more about our community of faith through Bible study and fellowship for all ages.
BRINGING FAITH TO LIFE
What We Believe
As Presbyterians, some of the principles articulated during the Protestant Reformation by John Calvin remain the core of our beliefs today. Among these are...
The Priesthood of All Believers
It is everyone’s job–ministers and lay people–to share this Good News with the world. That is why the Presbyterian Church is governed at all levels by a combination of clergy and laity, men and women alike.
Justification by Grace through Faith
Our salvation through Jesus is God’s generous gift to us and not the result of our own accomplishments.
The Authority of Scripture
We believe that our knowledge of God and God’s purpose for humanity comes from the Bible, particularly what is revealed in the New Testament through the life of Jesus Christ.
The Sovereignty of God
We believe that God is the supreme authority throughout the universe.
