Mission: Helping people experience LIFE to its fullest!

Vision: To have such an IMPACT on our city, that if our church were gone the community would miss it. 

Our vision is lived out through our Core Values:

Life: We are not made to live in apathy, so we will aim to be a church that is vibrantly alive in all our activities, breathing life into our community. We believe church should be fun, active, interesting and making a difference to those around us.

Family: We are not made to live life alone, so we will have a "come as you are" mentality that will strive to connect each person into our family where they can be loved, accepted, challenged and equipped. Family is important to God so it will be important to us in all our ministry decisions.

Change: We are not made to remain the same, so we will partner with each other to walk through life's changes as we grow up in Christ. As we should evaluate our lives to ensure growth, we will also evaluate our programs to ensure that creativity and effectiveness continue to exist.

Worship: We are not made to be inward but outward focused, so we will tell God how awesome He is and show others how much He loves them. At its greatest, worship comes from the overflow of our heart as we love God and love people.

Significance: We are not made just to survive but to thrive, so we will help each other realize our unique value in Christ as He enables us to become people of significance. As committed followers of Jesus we can live out a risk-taking faith, fulfilling our God sized purpose that makes an impact in our world.

Allegiance: We are not made to be unfaithful but to be committed, so in a world full of abandonment and distrust we will be faithful to Christ, each other and our community. In finding a healthy sense of life, family, change, significance and worship, we find a proper placement of our allegiance.

We believe... the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God and without mistakes as originally written.  It is the complete revelation of His will for salvation and the only unfailing rule of faith and practice for the Christian life.

We believe...in one God who is creator of all things.  He exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit, and these three are of equal dignity and power.

We believe... in the deity of Jesus Christ as fully God and fully man; His miraculous conception; virgin birth; sinless life; substitutionary death on the cross; resurrection of His body; ascension to the right hand of God the Father; and His imminent return.

We believe... in the Holy Spirit as proceeding from and is one Being with the Father and the Son who: convicts the world of sin; leads men to the Gospel and into fellowship with God; He comforts, encourages, sustains, empowers, sanctifies and guides each believer into all truth.  

We believe... that man was created BY and made FOR God; that through Adams initial disobedience man has inherited a sinful nature that leads to acts of disobedience.  These acts result in spiritual death as a consequence; and that, because of this separation, man is in need of divine intervention and salvation.

We believe... the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and that all who believe in Him are declared righteous because of His sacrificial and substitutionary death and are, therefore, in right relationship with God.

We believe... in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, who indwells all believers thus enabling and empowering them to live their new life in Christ.  That God is able and does fill entirely the heart of the believer who seeks the fullness of His Holy Spirit.  This deeper work of grace is conditioned upon full surrender and faith.  It involves both a cleansing of the Christian’s heart from the inherited inclination to sin and the infilling of the Holy Spirit.  It results in a new power to love God with our whole heart and our neighbors as ourselves.  

We believe... that good works themselves do not save us, but are the necessary fruits of the new birth and therefore serve as evidence that we are converted just as a tree is discerned by it’s fruit.  That the believer is secure in Christ as long as obedience and faith are maintained.  It is possible to depart from grace and fall into sin, and if one remains in this state, to be finally lost.  However, by the grace of God and through repentance and faith, the backslider can be restored to righteousness and true holiness.

We believe... that prayer is the life-line between man and God.  Prayer sustains everything we do; it unifies our minds with the Father, reveals the will of the Son and strengthens our inner soul through the work of the Holy Spirit.  

We believe... in the sacrament of water baptism for those who come to know Christ and intend to follow Him.

We believe... in the sacrament of Holy Communion (Lord’s Supper) as directed by Christ.  We do not require membership for communion but to hold to the Scriptural teaching that one who partakes is to believe in Jesus as Savior and intend to follow Him.

We believe... in the bodily resurrection of everyone who has lived, an everlasting blessedness and reward in Heaven for those who have received God's forgiveness, believed in and followed Christ, and an everlasting punishment in Hell for those who have rejected God’s forgiveness, have not believed in and followed Christ. 

Element Church is dedicated to providing you with an exciting worship service where you will learn how the Bible and God directly apply to your life and the circumstances you are dealing with today. So come as you are and dress however you want; from shirt and tie to sandals and shorts, everyone is welcome here.

Whether you are single, married, a parent, teen or child, we strive to make church creative, relevant, and excellent for you each week. Come and sing at the top of your lungs, share your faith, and be prepared for a life changing experience.
