Who We Are

We are Evangelical

We are committed to the proclamation of the Gospel.

We are committed to the authority of Scripture as being inerrant in the original writings and the only safe and sufficient guide to faith and practice.

We seek to advance the Church of Jesus Christ through the preaching of the gospel, personal evangelism, missionary endeavors, and Christian education.

We are Free

We have a congregational form of government in which clergy and laity actively participate in the governance and direction of an autonomous local church.  The congregation decides major issues such as calling pastors and staff; electing leaders; and approving budgets, building programs and the constitution and bylaws.

We are free from a central controlling body.

We depend on the active participation of lay people in the decisions and ministries of the church.

Our union with the Evangelical Free Church of America fits with our Statement of Faith.
