OUR VISION • OUR BELIEFS • OUR MISSION • OUR VALUES

Our Vision Statement.....
We are presence driven in our focus and purpose determined in our faith, to release an oasis, a place of refreshing, renewal and relationships; investing in a spiritual adventure to reach those who still need to drink from “…the wells of salvation...” and who need “…times of refreshing…” (Isaiah 12:3, Acts 3:19)

We Believe.....

• The Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16).
• There is one God, eternally existent in three persons:  God the father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost (2 Corinthians 13:14).
• In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule a thousand years (Matthew 16:16; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4).
• In the blessed hope, which is the rapture of the Church, at Christ's coming (Titus 2:13).
• The only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ (1 Peter 1:18, 19).
• Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation (John 3:3-5).
• The redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing of the human body in answer to believing prayer (1 Peter 2:24).
• The baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it (Acts 2:39).
• In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life (Galatians 5:16).
• In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation (John 5:28, 29).
