We acknowledge that Christ is the head of the church and that He has appointed elders to shepherd each local church and oversee its ministry leaders and their development.

We strive to teach the Bible - God's inerrant Word - with love, accuracy,  creativity, and integrity. Such teaching gives people the opportunity to know the one true God as they study and apply God's truth to their lives.

We believe that a lifestyle of worship includes participation in a regular God-centered corporate worship service. These worship services stress authenticity before God and vulnerability with one another. We also believe that Christ desires that all believers regularly participate in communion.
We believe that personal and corporate prayer is essential in all aspects of life and ministry. Prayer is the cornerstone for direction and guidance and empowerment for ministry.

We value the importance of the God-ordained family. We seek to minister to the whole family and its individual members. We define a family as a single, single parent, or married couples with or without children.

We desire to offer a safe place where deep, authentic, life-changing relationships can flourish. We desire that our church community grow toward friendship, love, accountability, and greater diversity.

We are convinced that each believer is personally responsible to grow in Christ-likeness by the power of the Holy Spirit through a grace-oriented approach to the spiritual disciplines.

We believe that God has uniquely gifted each believer in the local church to serve. We desire to invest in individuals to help them discover, cultivate, and employ their gifts, talents, and resources to be used by God.

We believe that it is the responsibility of individuals and the local church to reach the world with the unchanging gospel message in a loving, culturally relevant manner. We actively seek diverse opportunities to minister to all people in our neighborhood and throughout the Greater New Orleans Area. We also reach out through the prayerful and financial support of missionaries throughout the world.

We endeavor to glorify God by giving Him our very best. We reflect this desire by striving for Christ-dependent excellence in every ministry area of the church.
