We are a local congregation of believers in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. We are united together through common faith in Jesus as the Son of God, the only Savior from sins. We are a forgiven and redeemed assembly who belong to God's family through repentance of sin and faith in Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.
We are a locally autonomous Baptist church. We are affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. We are also affiliated with the Missouri Baptist Convention and the Spring River Baptist Association in Joplin, MO.
We are sinners saved by grace. God loves us and sent His Son, Jesus, to die for our sins. He rose again on the third day conquering death. He offers forgiveness of our sins and eternal life to anyone who repents (changes their mind, turns away) of their sins and puts their faith (full trust and reliance) in Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection. God's plan is for us to live for his glory through Christ and in service to His kingdom and look forward to spending eternity with Him in heaven.
Our Vision
We have a vision of taking the hope of Christ to our community.
We emphasize three core foundations as a church family: worship-discipleship-service.
We want to be passionate worshippers of God. We know we owe everything to Him and we want to express our thanks and commitment to Him.
We want to be ever growing life-long disciples of Jesus Christ. We promote the life-long journey of following Christ and being transformed to be more Christ-like in all areas of life. We also want to cultivate a sense of togetherness among our church family as brothers and sisters in the Lord's family.
We want to use our spiritual gifts and God-given talents to serve the purposes of God's Kingdom and His Great Commission, as well as serve one another.
