Church Mission
- To be a dynamic spiritual body empowered by the Holy Spirit to share Christ with as many people as possible in our church, community, and throughout the world. (Acts 1:8)

- To experience an increasingly meaningful fellowship with God and encouragement to fellow believers as we disciple followers of Christ. (Matthew 28:19-20)
- To help people experience a growing knowledge of God and man. (Ephesians 4:15-16)
- To be a church that ministers unselfishly to persons in the community and world in Jesus’ name. (Matthew 11:28-29; Matthew 25:35-40; I Timothy 4:6)
- To be a church whose purpose is to be Christ-like in our daily living by emphasizing total commitment of life, personality, and possessions to the Lordship of Christ. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
- To be a church that is making His House a house of prayer. (Isaiah 56:7)
Statement of Faith
The Holy Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God and is basis for any statement of faith. The church subscribes to the doctrinal statement of the “The Baptist Faith and Message” as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in 2000. We band ourselves together as a body of baptized believers in Jesus Christ personally committed to sharing the good news of salvation to lost mankind. The ordinances of the church are Baptism and The Lord’s Supper. (II Timothy 3:16-17; Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 14:22-26; I Corinthians 11:20-26)
