Core
Values

We are truth centered. God is truth and has revealed Himself to us through the Bible. It is only through the truth that we can know, love, and serve Him. This is why we preach the Bible every Sunday with gospel centered expository teaching, and pursue biblical discipleship. If we do not know the truth then we do not know God and we do not know how to follow Jesus.
2 Timothy 3:16
We are Christ-centered. As Savior, Lord, King, and Head of the church, Jesus is supreme over all we do. Every study we teach, every Community Group we form, and every gathering that assembles must be about Jesus. He is pre-eminent, the Chief Shepherd of the church, and so the church must follow His leading and seek to glorify Him in all that we do.
Colossians 1:18
We are on mission to make disciples of Jesus. He is calling us as a church to be the church in reaching people on his mission. We do not believe the church is to hide from the culture in an enclave or exclude the destitute like a country club. Instead, the church is to act as the body of Christ becoming all things to all men that we might win some for Christ. We actively reach out to our community as missionaries individually and as family in our Community Groups.
Matthew 18:19-20
We are a family of Jesus followers united by the Gospel. We have been adopted by God making us Brothers and Sisters in Christ. As the Body of Christ, we seek to love one another, serve one another, encourage one another, and pursue God with one another. A Christian cannot thrive on their own apart from God’s people. In a reflection of the image of God, we were created for relationships and community. In the fellowship of believers, we are encouraged, exhorted, uplifted, edified, and held accountable as we together learn to walk with Christ. This is mainly accomplished through our Community Groups, which act as close-knit families, caring for one another.
1 Corinthians 12:27
The great commission calls us to go to all the world and preach the Gospel. We take seriously the call to minister outside of our own community and context by making disciples of other nations and planting Churches in those communities. We have strategically chosen Burkina Faso that sits in the 10/40 belt and has a listed 28 unreached people groups. We have built a bible school, we plant churches, we provide pastoral training, and we aide the people of Burkina with practical needs.
Matthew 28
