Core Values

1. Personal Relationship with Jesus

Our greatest desire is that all people come to know Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord (Romans 10:9), and also know Him as their forever Friend who walks and talks with them and who daily gives His Holy Spirit for empowerment (Luke 11:13)!

Through renewing fellowship, loving concern (1 John 3:12) and godly hugs, we want people to recognize the enveloping arms of Jesus and our open arms around them reminding them how precious they are to Christ and us (Isaiah 43:2)!

Through personal daily quiet time and group Bible Studies, small group and educational opportunities we are committed to being rooted and built up in Jesus, strengthened in our faith (Colossians 2:7). We eschew apathy or stagnation and desire a hunger for the Word of God (Psalm 119:72)!

We come together in spirit and in truth (John 4:23) to touch God and be touched by Him through Word and Sacrament and each other. We invoke His presence and power so that many will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, "God is really among you" (1 Corinthians 14:25)!

Jesus healed many people during His ministry. His ministry continues through us (Luke 9:2). We are committed to helping all people be healed spiritually first (salvation), then emotionally, physically and in every way through the power of Jesus' name and His blood so they may live the abundant life He promised (John 10:10)!

Always being prepared to give the reason for the hope that we have (1 Peter 3:15), we are committed in our words and actions, through tracts and prayers, mission trips and missionaries, to boldly declare Christ Crucified and Risen. We invite people to church and desire to be Jesus-in-the-flesh (Colossians 4:5) to the unsaved masses on the Emerald Coast and the world!

Because all believers are priests (1 Peter 2:5) who need to be set free to serve in their gifted areas, we are committed to preparing God's people for works of service (Ephesians 4:12) using creative ideas and innovative technology to accomplish vital ministry and see God's Kingdom expanded!
