We exist to spread the Gospel and multiply disciples.
Inspired by The Great Commission of Jesus (Matthew 28:19), our vision is to make His last command our first priority, changing lives through soul-winning and ongoing spiritual formation.
To this end, the Gospel of Christ is the center of all our endeavors and functions as a church. We seek to express the fullness of who He is through Christ-centered teaching, worship, service, discipleship, community, outreach and Gospel motivated generosity.
We have a pronounced passion to reach the lost and make disciples of the found and to see them become committed followers of Jesus who serve God by serving others, and live out their purpose and calling boldly in their spheres of influence.
We are a socially aware and end-time conscious church committed to the spread of the Gospel…UNTIL ALL HAVE HEARD.
This is our vision. It is deeper than just words. It is alive and active at 2819, and reflected in our name. You can feel it in our gatherings and every aspect of our life-transforming culture.

GOD
There is one God, who eternally exists in three persons: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal, co-eternal, and distinct from each other, yet one. The doctrine of God's Triune nature is called the Trinity.
For there are three that testify:"
1 John 5:7
Genesis 1:26
Matthew 3:16-17
Matthew 28:19
Luke 1:35
Isaiah 9:6
Hebrews 3:7-11
01
jesus
Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus, atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead three days after He was crucified according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory.
For there are three that testify:"
John 1:1
John 1:14
John 20:28
1 Timothy 3:16
Isaiah 9:6
Philippians 2:5-6
1 Timothy 2:5
02
the holy spirit
The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Holy Trinity who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and that He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption. According to the Scriptures, The Holy Spirit comforts us, teaches us, gives gifts to us, reminds us of everything Jesus has spoken, and leads us into all truth.
For there are three that testify:"
John 14
John 16:8–11
2 Corinthians 3:6
1 Corinthians 12:12–14
Romans 8:9
Ephesians 5:18
03
the bible
The Holy Bible is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible and inerrant.
For there are three that testify:"
2 Timothy 3:16
2 Peter 1:20-21
Proverbs 30:5
Romans 16:25-26
04
man
God created Man in His own image and likeness as an upright moral and spiritual being. By voluntary transgression against God’s Word, Man fell; his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
For there are three that testify:"
Genesis 1:26-31
Genesis 3:1-7
Romans 5:12-21
05
salvation
The fall of man caused separation between God and all people, rendering man ultimately hopeless and in danger of eternal damnation. God in His love, not wanting anyone to perish, sent Christ into the world. The sacrificial death of Jesus, and His blood shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through any self-effort. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ; His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts.
For there are three that testify:"
Ephesians 2:8-9
Galatians 2:16
Galatians 3:8
Titus 3:5
Romans 10:9-10

water baptism
Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:38
Mark 16:16
Acts 8:12
Acts 8:36-38
Acts 10:47-48
07
the lord's supper
A unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread and grape juice (the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) are taken in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross.
For there are three that testify:"
Matthew 26:26-29
1 Corinthians 10:16
1 Corinthians 11:23-25
08
the church
The Church is the local and global community of believers who acknowledge Jesus as their Savior. The Church is not a location, religious institution, or weekly event. The Church is the body of Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and made up of born-again believers who carry the divine mission of spreading the Gospel to the whole world. Locally, our church gathers every week corporately on Sundays and in small groups during the week to worship, pray, grow through biblical instruction, and to strengthen and support each other.
For there are three that testify:"
Matthew 16:13-18
Acts 2:42-47
Ephesians 1:22
Ephesians 2:19-22
Hebrews 12:23
John 17:11
John 17:20-23
09
the future
Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish His Kingdom. This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures. After living one life on earth, unbelievers will be judged by God and eternally separated from Him and tormented with the Devil and the Fallen Angels in the lake of fire. Believers will spend eternity with God in a conscious state of bliss thanking Him for all eternity for the victory of overcoming this life; they will enter into eternal blessing.
For there are three that testify:"
Matthew 25:41
