We gather weekly to know, treasure, and respond to God together through the gospel of Jesus, in the power of his Spirit. We hear the Good News of Jesus in the Bible, see it pictured in communion, celebrate it through song, prayer, and giving, and unpack it to our children.
WHAT TO EXPECT
WE TEACH FROM THE BIBLE
We believe “expositional teaching” helps us know the gospel better. The goal of expositional teaching is to draw the meaning out of the Biblical text (often verse by verse) and allow the text to shape the message. We do not believe expositional teaching is the only way to teach the Bible, but it serves as our normative method in our Sunday gatherings.

WE DISCIPLE OUR CHILDREN
We believe our children should be engaged in knowing the gospel, connecting in gospel relationships, and living out the gospel in the world. We use The Gospel Project, an in-depth but age appropriate chronological curriculum that walks through the entire Bible in a three year span. Children are taught using a multi-level approach of story, singing, teaching, and activities.

WE SING FROM THE BIBLE
We believe singing scripture is an important act of worship. While we may have different arrangements and melodies from week to week, our commitment to singing from scripture never changes.

WE GIVE CHEERFULLY
We believe the Church is called to share resources to further the proclamation of the gospel in our city and to the ends of the earth. This act of giving is not an obligation, but a joyful response to what God has done for us in Christ Jesus (2 Cor 9:6-15).

WE PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNION
We believe the Lord’s is an opportunity for believers to display & cultivate their trust in Jesus. In this time we eat bread, signifying Christ’s body broken for us, and drink the cup, signifying the New Covenant in Christ’s blood (1 Cor 11:23-32).
