What are the goals of your church?
We have three emphases in our church direction: proclaiming the good news of Jesus' salvation; strengthening lives of people, families, and children; and building up believers to serve God. We strive to make all of our church programs and gatherings further these core goals of our church.

What are you not?
We are not Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses. We're just Christians who have felt led by the Lord to begin a new church gathering in Cleveland Heights.

Where do you stand on political issues?
In our messages you will not hear anything about political issues. As a church we do not have a particular stand. But if you interview each of us individually, you will find a wide spectrum of views.

If I visit your church will I be asked to give money?
We do not pass a plate, but simply have a box in the room where people can place their financial offerings. We encourage all those who are regularly with us to go before the Lord and to give as the Lord leads.

What should I wear to your church service?
Casual dress is fine. Some people dress up and others dress casually. Please feel free to come as you are

I'm afraid to visit you because I don't know anybody. What should I do?
A friendly greeter will meet you at the door and welcome you to our service. We get to know most people by name after their first visit, so relax, step in the door and we will gladly make you feel comfortable. If you have more time after our service, you may want to come over to one of our houses for lunch to get to know us more.

What about my kids?
Our music is lively, invigorating, and can be engaging for the whole family. Therefore, we have all the children join us for the singing portion of our service. Afterwards, we have an awesome program for your children where they learn lessons on character, Bible stories, and do crafts and activities. After your children attend our childrens' program once, they will want to drag you back the next week. We invite junior high and high school age children to stay in our entire service. We feel that our message is interesting, relevant, and receivable by them.

Who are you and what do you believe? Who we are: We are believers in Jesus Christ. We are not part of any denomination or organization. The Bible is our foundation and standing. What We Believe: We believe in the classic Christians creeds (like the Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed) and therefore we believe in: The trinity The incarnation of Jesus Christ by virgin birth Jesus' death and its effects on sins and sinners The resurrection of Jesus Christ after three days The ascension of Jesus Christ to Heaven The future second coming of the Lord Jesus to the earth Salvation that is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ (Click here for verses) We believe the entire Bible is inspired by God and is therefore inerrant and infallible. We aspire to take the Bible as our highest authority. We believe that the only hope of salvation for any person is through a living, active faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that everyone who has been saved by faith in Jesus Christ is a "work in progress." After initial salvation, those who love Christ are on a path to becoming more and more Christlike, although they are imperfect at the present time. We believe that every believer in Jesus Christ has been given a gift, which can be developed to minister or serve other members in the Body. These gifts may include prophesy, service, teaching, exhortation, giving, leading, showing mercy and others. We believe that all believers in Jesus Christ, with whatever measure of faith or portion of ministry that they have received from God, are members of the Church, the universal Body of Christ. While we realize that all Christians have faults, we are for anything that Christ is truly doing through any member of His Body. We are on the same team! We believe that Christ is moving through many different companies of believers. As we are endeavoring to be faithful to how the Lord has led us, we appreciate and respect what God is doing through other believers. In the end our highest goal is that we all would be common believers, defined only by the name of Jesus. Printable version
