Our union with the Evangelical Free Church of
America fits with our Statement of Faith.
We are
"EVANGELICAL" We are committed to
the proclamation of the Gospel.
We are committed to the authority of Scripture as being inerrant in the original writings
and the only safe and sufficient guide to faith and practice.
We seek to advance the Church of Jesus Christ through the preaching of the gospel,
personal evangelism, missionary endeavors, and Christian education.
We are
"FREE" We have a congregational form of government
in which clergy and laity actively participate in the governance and direction of an autonomous
local church. The congregation decides major issues such as calling pastors and staff;
electing leaders; and approving budgets, building programs and the constitution and bylaws.
We are "free" from a central controlling body.
We depend on the active participation of lay people in the decisions and ministries of the church.
Our logo represents our three-point mission statement. Our Mission and Vision statements are
outlined here.
