STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and faith in his death and resurrection is the only way to eternal salvation.  As revealed by God through His Sacred Word, we believe that every man, woman, and child who enters through our doors is worthy of love, hope, dignity, care, and mercy.  We believe all people are precious in the sight of God and that He has a special plan for their lives.  As Great Commission Christians, we are under God’s mandate to share the Gospel and make disciples of all.
