VISION:
Together We Follow Jesus for The Sake of Others.
 
CORE VALUES: 
As a church family, we unite around eight core beliefs. These are our DNA, the make up of who we are and who we are becoming.
 
As a church family we unashamedly minister for the sake of:
Biblical Truth: God’s written word is our guide and authority in everything. We stand firm where it leads us to Jesus, and flexible where it is flexible. – Hebrews 4:12, John 5:39
 
Family: We believe that God works best when we are committed to each other in all ages and stages of life. Life change happens when we are intentionally committed to each other in Jesus centered relationships. All ages have a role to play in the body of Christ. – 1 Corinthians 12:12-26
 
Canadian and Others: The church is at its best when it exists to bless others. We strive to take the posture of servants in all that we do. Our ministry begins in Canadian and works its way out into the wider area and the world. – Matthew 5:43-48
 
Everyday Discipleship: Success as a church is found in our devotion and love for Jesus Christ. Fully following Jesus is normal for people who call themselves Christians. – Mark 8:34-35
 
Transformation: We are far from perfect, but we believe in life change. God’s Spirit is at work among us; forming us, shaping us, and equipping us to look more like Jesus Christ. – Romans 12:1-2, Romans 8
 
Love: Our source of strength and motivation is the love of God. That love overflows in our actions in all that we do. – 1 John 4:7
 
Grace: No one is beyond the mercy and forgiveness of God, nor can we earn it. We are followers of Jesus only because of God’s grace. Grace allows to be honest about our sins and hopeful for our future.
– Romans 6:23
 
The Uncommitted: People that don’t know God, matter to God. Therefore, people who have yet to be introduced to Jesus, matter to us. – Luke 15
 
 
 
Shepherds/Elders
 
We believe that the Bible clearly leads us us to appoint shepherds, or elders to lead the local congregation (1 Peter 5, 1 Timothy 3).
These men are dedicated to serving like and leading us to the Good Shepherd,  Jesus.
