Introduction
Every church is viewed in different ways based on their practices. We hope that our identity is viewed as an evangelical, reformed, baptist, Bible-preaching church seeking to promote love for God, one another, and the world in all that we do.
We are evangelical because we believe the gospel is what defines who we are and what we must do. The gospel defines who we are in Christ in that we only have the hope of salvation in his death, burial, resurrection, and return. The gospel defines what we do because we can only proclaim Christ and what he has accomplished for us.
We are reformed because we believe that God, in his good grace, is sovereign and we are not. Generally speaking, we must begin with the “solas” of the Protestant Reformation, but we do not stop there with our confession. We believe that we are totally depraved and God must sovereignly show his grace to us in order for us to know him as the Savior. We believe that the Christian religion is about exalting and glorifying God alone, not ourselves or our work.
We preach the Bible because it is the only source of God’s wisdom, truth, and message of salvation. We preach through books of the Bible (usually alternating between OT and NT) and each sermon is expositional in nature, meaning it’s focus is the focus of the inspired passage.
We are family friendly and committed to being a family of God as adopted sons and daughters in Christ. This is lived out in our fellowship, discipleship, and gospel care for one another. We are also committed to encouraging families to fulfill their callings so that men are trained to be heads of households, women godly helpmates, and children honoring and obedient to their parents. Adoption is a primary conviction of the church so that its theological and practical applications are emphasized among the body.
We are baptist because we believe that the church is the body of Christ that is made up of converted confessors of Christ. We therefore only baptize professing believers and have a high view of church membership.

We have just reached our one year anniversary of broadcasting on SermonAudio and have been highly pleased with the service and ministry result. We frequently have new attendees in our church who say they discovered us first through our website and its link to our messages on SermonAudio. Former members who have moved out of the area are also able to keep up with the teaching/preaching ministry of our church. We currently have a young man in our church who is a medical student at the University of Virginia serving a short term internship in public health in Brazil. He recently emailed to say he has been listening to our messages on SermonAudio from Brazil.
