10.We Believe - that the visible church of Christ is a congregation of Baptized Believers in Christ adhering to a special covenant, which recognizes Christ as their only lawgiver and ruler and his Word their exclusive guide in all religious matters.

Core Values
1. Life Process - Every believer at the point of salvation begins a life process of Christ- likeness. We are never the same after conversion, but everyone should continue to grow and develop in this Christian life. And ultimately be able to aid others in this process. (Matthew 13:1-30; Matthew 28:19-20; 2 Cor. 5:17; Ephes. 4:14; Hebrews 5:12-13; 1Peter 2:2)
2. Personal Relationship - Every believer should have as the focal point of their life, their own personal relationship with God the creator through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (Philippians 2:11-14)
3. Spiritual Growth - Growth that takes place in the church, families, ministries, etc. does not happen until the growth spiritually takes place first. A spiritual foundation must be laid first, then temporal. (1Peter 2:1-5)
4. Ministerial Integrity - Every leader or minister that will serve the in the capacity of ministry will live a life of integrity, be loyal to leadership and laity, and commit to the work of the gospel. (1Timothy 4:1-16)
5. Family Development - A healthy church means healthy families must be established. Ministries will minister to families and promote holy sanction between man and woman, and teach children the structure of family as outlined in scripture. (Luke 2:51; Ephes. 6:1; Col. 3:20)
6. Youth Development - Children must learn from the church the skills necessary to grow intellectually, spiritually and socially. The church must aid in the development of the growth in the child. (Exodus 10:2; Deut. 6:7; Deut. 31:10-13; Psalm 22:30-31; Psalm 78:5)
7. Purpose Empowerment - We are empowered as a ministry by the five purposes of the church. These include worship, evangelism, discipleship, ministry, and fellowship. (Matt 28: 19-20; Matthew 22:38-40)
8. Apologetics - Every believer should have a working knowledge of what they believe in Christianity or “What it means to be a Christian”. We should also be able to readily defend what we believe against all other religions, skeptics, or seekers. (Acts 4:8-13; Acts 5:23-29)
9. Creativity - God has made us to be creative because we where made in his likeness and in his image. We will continue to find creative and innovative ways to present the gospel message and our ministry.
10. Authority - The word of God is the final authority in every situation in this ministry. The church is structured according to the Word of God. Every dispute will be settled by the word. Every action will be governed by the Word of God (John 12:48; Romans 2:16)
