• Preach - Good News, to the distressed
• Teach – forgiveness, healing and freedom from bad habits and choices
• Provide - new vision and hope
• Show – how Jesus brings restoration to our lives

Our vision is to provide a comfortable place where the weary, overworked and every day person can find rest and restoration. To provide a loving community environment that is open to all cultures and social status that leads to building friendships that will weather the test of time. To care and love our community, in and around Philadelphia, that will produce peace instead of violence, love instead of hatred and change that leads to Jesus-centered growth. To teach God’s word, the Bible, in a way that can be applied to the “here and now” of our lives. To see lives set free from the heavy burden of sin and transformed into the likeness of our savior. To give God and his son, Jesus Christ, the glory in everything we do.

• We believe the only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ's Agape love, which is greater than any differences we possess (Phil. 2:1-2) and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians (1 John 3:10-16).

• We believe worship of God should be…Spiritual. Therefore, we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship. (John 4:23-24).Inspirational. Therefore, we give great place to music in our worship (Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16). Intelligent. Therefore, our services are designed with great emphasis upon the teaching of the Word of God that He might instruct us on how He should be worshiped (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 4:1-2). Fruitful. Therefore, we look for His love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have been truly worshiping Him (Luke 6:43-44; John 13:35).

• We believe Gods is relevant for today; therefore we seek to teach the Word of God in such a way that its message can be applied to the individual's life leading that person to a greater maturity in Christ (Eph. 4:11-12; 2 Tim. 3:16-17).

• We believe in the inerrancy of Scripture; that the Bible Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible Word of God (2 Tim. 3:16-17).

• We believe that God is eternally existent in three separate persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (1 John 5:7).

• We believe that God as the Creator; Is the personal, awe-inspiring, and sovereign Creator of all things (Gen. 1:1-2:2).

• We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, that he was born of a virgin (Is. 7:14; Matt. 1:23), lived a sinless life (Heb. 4:15), provided for the atonement of our sins by His substitutionary and atoning death on the cross (1 John 2:2), was bodily resurrected by the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 17:31; 1 Cor. 15:3-8), ascended back to the right hand of God the father (Mark 16:19), and ever lives to make intercession for us (Rom.8:27; Heb. 7:24-25)

• We believe in the power of the Holy Spirit; After Jesus ascended to Heaven (Acts1:9), He poured out His Holy Spirit on believers in Jerusalem (Acts 2:1-4), enabling them to fulfill His command to preach the Gospel to the entire world; an obligation shared by all believers today (Matt 28:19-20).

• We believe that sin separated us from God; all people are by nature separated from God and responsible for their own sin (Rom. 3:23; Is. 59:2), but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (Rom. 6:23). When a person repents of sin (Acts 3:19) and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior (Rom. 10:9-11), trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13-14), all of his/her sins are forgiven (1 John 1:9), and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.

• We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit; mentioned in the Scriptures (1 Cor. 12:1-11), and that they are valid for today and are to be exercised within scriptural guidelines. We, as believers, are to covet the best gifts (1 Cor. 12:27-31), seeking to exercise them in love that the whole Body of Christ might be edified (1 Cor. 14:12). We believe that love is more important than the most spectacular gifts, and without love, all exercise of spiritual gifts is worthless (1 Cor. 13).

• We believe in two ordinances ;( 1) Baptism by water immersion by a person who has made a confession of faith in Jesus Christ and who has the understanding of that faith. (2) Communion the symbolic act in honoring God through the remembrance of His sacrifice of His son, Jesus Christ, on the cross.

• We believe that the church government should be simplistic, rather than a complex bureaucracy, and that we depend on the Holy Spirit to lead rather than on fleshly promotion (Acts 6:3; Eph. 1:22).

• In our services, we focus on a personal relationship with God through worship, prayer (Matt. 6:5-13; 1 Thes. 5:17) and both expositional and topical teaching of the Word of God (2 Tim. 4:2). We do not allow speaking in tongues during Sunday services, nor prophecy while a Bible study is in progress as to avoid confusion (1 Cor 13-14) and to be sensitive to our guests who may be experiences church for the first time. We believe the expression of various gifts is more edifying within smaller groups.
