Who we are
Mission and Vision:
Making hurting people whole
Our Name:
Our name comes from the book of John 15:8 "My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples." {NRSV} We desire to have the power, presence and person of the Holy Spirit reflected through our lives so that we may bear much fruit for Christ and be His disciples!
Targets:
What We Believe
The Bible: We believe the Bible to be the inspired, and only infallible, authoritative Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Jesus: We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, and that He is both God and man. (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:20; 1 Timothy 2:5)
Salvation: We believe that salvation is the free gift of God, entirely apart from human merit or works, and is received through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
The Christian Life: We believe God calls each of us to live a holy and blameless life. We believe in sanctification and that we are called to overcome evil everyday until the coming of Christ. (1 Thessalonians 5:23)
The Second Coming: We believe in the personal return of our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the believers and unbelievers, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost. (John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:10-15, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

Evangelism: We believe evangelism, the spread of the gospel, is a command given by Jesus for the church. We believe in personally sharing the gospel and supporting missionaries worldwide. (Matthew 28:19-20)
The Holy Spirit: We believe in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit as evidenced by His fruit in the life of the believer, and spiritual gifts. (Galatians 5:22-23, 1 Corinthians 12-14)
