Our Beliefs

Our Guiding Principles

  • God's Word Is Truth

    It is to be: Proclaimed through preaching and teaching, received and believed by all who hear, and applied to, and practiced in, each of our daily lives.

  • Worship

    God has created every believer to be a worshipper - we are all to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, both corporately when we gather together and individually in our private devotional times.

  • Leadership

    Since no one can be spiritually successful being their own leader - the church is to provide quality Christ-like leadership for, and develop Christ-like leadership qualities in, every believer.

  • Excellence

    In everything we are and in everything we do, we are to “do all to the glory of God,” exhibiting and demonstrating our best in every area.

  • Faith

    Real faith is taking God at His Word. This is the faith that every believer is to live by - the faith that pleases God.

  • Discipleship

    A primary mission of the church is the making of disciples - disciplined followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  • Unity

    God’s will is the absence of division and strife - a congregation in unity, harmony, in one accord, with one vision and oneness of purpose, all speaking the same thing.

  • Participation

    God has created every member to be a part of the body - each with a place and a function within the Ministry of Helps.

  • Fellowship

    Every believer has a need to be in relationship with others of like precious faith, demonstrating the love of God - and all believers are to regularly assemble together for church services.

  • Prayer

    Each and every believer is to come boldly before God to find mercy and grace to help, both for their own lives and for the needs of others.

  • Stewardship

    Every believer is a steward of God’s resources - and is to give generously of those resources to further the God given vision and mission of the church.

  • Evangelism

    A primary mission of every believer is to go into all the world, as an ambassador of the Lord Jesus Christ, proclaiming His Gospel to all.
