What we do, Why we do it, What it looks like
Our Passion:
To worship, glorify, and share the good news of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
Acts 20:27,32: ‘To declare to you the whole counsel of God… place you in God’s hands and in the care of His word, which builds you up and promises you an eternal inheritance…”
We are passionate about worshiping God together with devotion, teaching His Word faithfully from Genesis to Revelation, loving one another as Christ loves us, and sharing the good news of Jesus, drawing others into His eternal family. We’re simply teaching the Bible Simply as it’s all about Jesus!

Our Purpose
Jesus said to His disciples: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and surely I am with you always, even to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
We want to be obedient to Jesus and make disciples of all nations by worshiping God with passion, growing in faith through His Word, and sharing the Gospel of His grace, building a community devoted to Him and His eternal Kingdom. Our focus is on Jesus through:
Worship
We honor and glorify the Lord with song, study, service, and sacrifice.
Discipleship
We train people to grow in faith, equipping them to bear fruit glorifying God.
Evangelism
We share the good news of Jesus to those who don’t yet know Him.
To love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and love our neighbor as ourselves (Matthew 22:37-40).

Our Practice
The church in its beginning “continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.” Acts 2:42, 47
As servants of the Lord, we seek to continue in the blessings He has given to His church. Our practice is centered on four key aspects:
1. Doctrine: We prioritize learning from the Bible, recognizing its living and powerful nature. We make time for personal Bible reading and congregational study, believing that God’s Word is the foundation of our faith and equips us for life and service (Ephesians 4:11-12, 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Psalm 119:105; Romans 10:17). This ensures that our worship is rooted in truth, discipleship is grounded in solid teaching, and evangelism is informed as we share the good news of Jesus Christ.
“Simply teaching the Bible Simply”. We teach the Bible in an expository fashion, verse by verse, chapter by chapter, and book by book, ensuring that we understand and apply its teachings in context (Nehemiah 8:8; Acts 17:11, 20:27; Hebrews 4:12).
2. Fellowship (koinōnia): We care for one another as a spiritual family, united by our common fellowship with Jesus (Acts 2:42-47; Matthew 12:46; Luke 14:26; Philippians 2:1-2). We encourage each other toward love and serving, recognizing our unity in God’s grace (Hebrews 10:24-25; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27; 1 Peter 4:10; 1 John 1:7). This causes our worship to be rooted in unity, discipleship to be done in love, and evangelism to be encouraged by the work God is doing through our lives.
3. Breaking of Bread: We joyfully invite others to share meals with us, growing in our relationships, and celebrating The Lord’s Supper (Acts 2:42-46, 20:7; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29). In Communion, we joyfully remember Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for our sins and celebrate His resurrection, expressing gratitude for God’s mercy (Matthew 26:26-28; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:14-20). This practice inspires worship that glorifies Jesus, strengthens our united faith and devotion to Jesus, and encourages us to invite others into Christ’s transforming love.
4. Prayer: We delight in prayer, trusting God and interceding for one another. We recognize its power in fueling our growth, victory in spiritual warfare, and deepening our relationship with God – essential elements for revival (Philippians 4:6-7; Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; Luke 18:1). Through prayer, worship becomes intimate fellowship with God, discipleship is strengthened by our dependence upon God, and evangelism is sustained by seeking God’s power to reach others.
This fourfold practice enables us to devote ourselves to God and cultivate a fellowship that honors Him. This is all we’ve got…but this is all we really need.
