CORE VALUES
God's Word Transforms
The goal of Scripture is to bring us into a relationship with the Author and transform us into His likeness.
John 5:39–40; 2 Timothy 3:15–17; Matthew 4:4; 2 Corinthians 3:15–18; James 1:22–25; Ephesians 5:25–27; Psalm 119:11; Luke 24:13–35
As God encounters us in His Word, faith is released into our lives. Studying God’s truth empowers us to believe in who He is, who we are, and how He wants us to live.
Romans 10:17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; John 17:17; Matthew 7:24–28; Colossians 3:15–17; John 8:31–32; Psalm 119:105; Romans 15:4; 1 Corinthians 10:1–13; Acts 8:26–40
The primary lens through which we interpret the Bible is the person, life, and redemptive work of Jesus, because He is the most complete revelation of who God is and what God cares about.

Colossians 1:15–20, 2:9; Hebrews 1:1–3; 2 Peter 1:16–21

2 Thessalonians 2:13–15; 2 Peter 1:16–21; Proverbs 30:5–6;
