The Congregational Way is a way of following Christ. People of a Congregational Church do not seek to be led by a creed, but by the Spirit. Ours is the tradition of a free church, gathered under the headship of Christ and bound to others by love, not law.

What Is the

Core Values

The Supremacy of Jesus Christ - Colossians 1:15-18

We enthusiastically acknowledge Christ as  central to who we are and all that we do, surrendering ourselves to His Lordship,  will and good pleasure.

Biblical Lifestyles - 2 Timothy 3:16

We strive to obey God’s Word, modeling Christlikeness with integrity and authority so that we will mature in Christ, encouraging others to do likewise.

Prayer - Matthew 7:7-11

Our relationship with God and ministry in His Name is  always under the direct guidance of God, driven by  prayer and exercised  in response to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Grace-filled Loving Relationships - Luke 10:27

We encourage everyone to serve Christ and one another with hearts of love and gratitude rather than guilt, gossip or condemnation.

Authentic Inspiring Worship - Psalm 145: 1-7

We passionately desire to acknowledge God’s supreme value and worth in our personal lives and in the corporate, inspired worship of our congregation.

Needs Based Outreach - Luke 19:10

Holistic Small Groups - A Caring Community - Acts 2:42-47

We strongly encourage everyone to commit to and fully participate in  small groups (prayer, caring, teaching, fellowship, evangelism and  gift mobilization)

Gift based Ministry - 1 Corinthians 12:7-11

We encourage every member of Christ’s body to discover and use their natural and supernatural gifts to strengthen the groups and congregation as a whole.

Build an ever-increasing coalition of spiritual leaders intent on growing in their relationship with Christ and pursuing God’s call for building His Kingdom.

Strong Families - 2 Timothy 1:5
