Our Lifestyle Statement
WHAT WE PRACTICE
Beliefs are not worth much unless they are translated into actions. Based on what the Bible teaches, we feel very strongly about the following eight practices:
𝟏. The Bible as our sole authority
Bible as our manual for living.
𝟐. The Autonomy of every local church
Every local church should be self-governing
𝟑. The Priesthood of every believer
Every believer is a minister
𝟒. Tithing and Generosity
Generosity is our way of life
𝟓. A Spirit-led life
Daily dependence on God’s Spirit
𝟔. The Baptism by immersion
The way Jesus was baptized
𝟕. Sharing Christ with others
Sharing God’s message of hope, and inviting friends and family to church
𝟖. We Do life together
Life lived alone isn't fully lived
