To engender a community of faith and loving service
for the glory of God and the spread of the gospel to all peoples.
(Acts 1:8; 2 Cor. 10:3-6; Prov. 11:30)
What to Expect
We invite you to participate in a warm and exciting fellowship where we focus on God and His glory more than the trinkets of this world. You will find a people committed to the Second Great Commandment: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:39) because we are firmly committed to the First: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind" (Matthew 22:37).
How should I dress?
We have no dress code other than modesty, so come as you are or dress up as much as you like. God is our passion, not your appearance.
What is your style of worship?
This questions raises some very important issues. First, what is worship in the first place? Scripturally speaking, worship is not about music. While most churches (and, therefore, Christians) consider worship a function of a particular style of music, we want to make worship primarily about God. It is disheartening when churches fracture over music styles rather than focusing on the true heart of worship. For us, worship is our proper response to God's revelation of Himself.
Secondly, what is the role of music? Music serves as one form of cultural expression of praise. Much of the debate over music is in fact a debate over culture. What sounds like music in one culture may be mere noise or grating tunes in another. Church music has developed over time from chants to choral arrangements, etc. The Bible speaks mainly of "psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs" (Ephesians 5:19). Therefore, a variety of music should characterize our praise, and, for this reason, we desire to incorporate the best music available from various genres into our times of praise.
