We are dedicated to the faithful proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We hold the Bible as the inerrant Word of God in its original manuscripts, and believe it to be the ultimate and sufficient guide for both faith and practice.
Our mission is to advance the Church of Christ through preaching, personal evangelism, global missions, and Christian education, all grounded in the truth of the Gospel.
We embrace a congregational form of government, where both clergy and laity share in the responsibility for the governance and direction of the church. The congregation plays a vital role in decisions such as calling pastors and staff, electing leaders, and approving budgets, building projects, and constitutional amendments.
As a local, autonomous church, we are free from external control, ensuring that our ministry remains centered on the needs and direction of our community.
Our partnership with the Evangelical Free Church of America aligns with our core beliefs, as outlined in our Statement of Faith.
