Our Mission
"WHY WE EXIST"
I. To Worship God
II. To Save The Lost
III. To Mature The Saved
IV. To Provide Fellowship
V. To Compassionately Minister to Human Need
VI. To Transform Society
Our philosophy and mission empower us to utilize our authority in Christ in order to deliver “spiritual” redemption and freedom to those who were once considered “lost” and “separated” from God (Luke 15:11-32). As a result, we serve approximately over 6,000 men, women and children in the Louisville Metro and Southern Indiana area who seek “salvation and restoration” through Jesus Christ.

BELIEFS
Our core beliefs are:
•The Scriptures are the divinely inspired and written Word of God.
•There is only one true and living God who is self existent and eternal. He is the Creator of all things.
•Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and crucified on a cross for the forgiveness of sins; that He died and was buried, but that He arose from the grave three days later. He is the only means to salvation.
•The Holy Spirit is the third person of the revealed Trinity of God and the teacher of all truth.
•All who repent of sin and receive by faith Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord become the children of God and have the gift of eternal life with Him.
•The Church is the body of Christian believers who are committed in covenant to worship God and to share the Gospel with unbelievers.
