WHAT WE BELIEVE
OUR CHURCH
We are a non-denominational, multi-generational, multi-ethnic church that believes the Bible is divinely inspired (2 Timothy 3:16, 17) and is the Word of God. There is only one true and living God who is manifested in three eternal and equal persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 3:17, 18). We base everything upon the truth of Scripture and devote ourselves to the teaching of sound doctrine.
OUR SAVIOR
We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:18), virgin-born (Matthew 1:25), sinless (Hebrews 4:15), died on the cross for our sins, was raised bodily from the dead on the third day, is at the right hand of the Father and is coming again (1 Corinthians 15:3,4; John 14:3; Romans 8:34; Revelation 22:20). Jesus is the Son of God, God incarnate, and Lord of all (John 1:1,14; Romans 10:9; Acts 10:36).
OUR SITUATION
Man is a sinner (Romans 3:23) and is saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8, 9). Man’s response to God’s grace includes repentance (Acts 17:30), publicly confessing Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:9, Matthew 10:32, 33) and baptism by immersion (Acts 2:38; Acts 10:47). Every Christian is a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) and is indwelt, empowered and gifted by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9) to become like Christ in character and deed.
OUR PURPOSE
Christ is the head and Chief Shepherd of the church (Colossians 1:18; 1 Peter 5:4). The purpose of the church is to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18-20). We understand every believer to be an ambassador (2 Corinthians 5:20) and minister (Ephesians 4:11, 12) of the gospel to help win our community to Jesus Christ. The Church should continually devote itself to the apostles teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread (communion or Lord’s Supper) and prayer (Acts 2:42, Acts 20:7). Our local church recognizes two offices of leadership known as elders (1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-7) and deacons (1 Timothy 3:8-13; Philippians 1:1).

OUR WORSHIP LEADER
Jesica was born into a musical family in Minnesota, and much of her grade school and teenage years were spent participating in music, theater, and performing arts. After college, Jesica was hired as an Activities Director and Entertainer on Royal Caribbean cruise ships. God placed Jesica with a special Christian roommate on the cruise ship who eventually led her to the Lord.
In 2005, God called Jesica to take a leap of faith and move to California from NYC. She sold all she had and drove across country in obedience to the Lord to enter into a new music ministry adventure He had waiting for her, and has been enjoying ever since.
JESICA SPECHT
Jesica has a deep passion for impacting hearts for Christ through music, testimonies, and scripture. In her free time when she’s not writing music, she loves hiking, kayaking, dancing, movies, traveling adventures, boating, water-skiing, laughing, and fun dinners with friends.
