Our Mission

The Church on the Hill exists to KNOW JESUS and PROCLAIM JESUS to everyone, everywhere, every day.


Seeking to fulfill the Great Commission, this mission of knowing Jesus and proclaiming Jesus is accomplished through Christ-exalting worship, Christ-centered discipleship, Christ-loving community, and Christ-reflecting service.

Our Values

Family-Focused

We believe that the family, with marriage defined as the union of a man and a woman, is the primary institution of society ordained by God, therefore we will provide ministries, education and opportunities for the spiritual growth and development of both churched and unchurched families in our communities.

(Genesis 2:18-25; Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Psalm 127:3-5; Psalm 128; Ephesians 5:22-6:4)

Discipleship-Driven

We will diligently seek to develop new Christians as faithful, functioning followers of Christ, while also helping established Christians mature in their spiritual journey through teaching, mentoring, and accountability.

(John 15:1-8; Acts 2:42; Romans 6:1-6; Ephesians 3:14-21; 

Colossians 1:21-23; 2 Timothy 2:1-2, 15; Hebrews 5:12-14; 1 Peter 2:1-3)

Missions-Minded

We will be an Acts 1:8 and Matthew 25:40 church, striving to meet the spiritual and physical needs of others in obedience to the gospel of Christ on local, state, national, and international levels.

(Psalm 67; Matthew 25:31-46; Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:46-49; Acts 1:8; Romans 1:16)






Doctrinal Statement

The Church on the Hill is under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and we seek to live and reflect the faith that has been given to us through the finished work of Jesus as revealed in the Scripture. We believe scripture to hold the final authority regarding truth and doctrine, and we believe and seek to walk with three understanding regarding beliefs:

  1. In essential beliefs, we seek unity (Ephesians 4:4-6).
  2. In non-essential beliefs, we share liberty (Romans 14:1,4,12).
  3. In all our beliefs, we show charity (1 Corinthians 13:2).
The doctrines within our statement of faith represent what we believe to be essential beliefs of biblical teaching.

We agree with the position: “In essentials unity, In non-essentials liberty, In all things charity.”

Essential beliefs of the Christian faith are beliefs that set the Christian faith apart from other religions and beliefs and include:

  • The Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and is the final authority in all matters of life and truth. (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:21; John 17:17)
  • There is only one true God, eternal and triune in existence: God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19-20; 2 Cor. 13:14; see also 1 Cor. 8:6; Col. 2:9; Acts 5:3-4)
  • Mankind, starting with Adam and Eve, were made in God’s image and commissioned to glorify and enjoy him forever. (Gen. 1:26-28; 2:17-18; Ps. 139:13-16; Jer. 1:4-5; Rom. 1:21-22)
  • Man was deceived by the serpent, and willingly rebelled against God’s command, thus bringing sin, separation from God, and judgement upon them and all thereafter. (Gen. 3:19; Isa. 59:1-2; Rom. 6:23; Eph. 2:1-3)
  • Jesus is the Son of God, the second person of the Godhead. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, preformed many miracles, and was crucified unjustly, willingly giving himself as an atonement for our sin. He conquered sin and death by being resurrected on the third day, ascended into heaven after showing Himself to many witnesses, and now sits at the right hand of the Father. (John 1:1; 14; 18; Luke 1:35; Rom. 3:24-26; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Tim. 2:5)
  • Salvation is a gracious gift of God where the Holy Spirit awakens the sinner to their need of Jesus’s atoning work and generates repentance and faith in the life of the new believer. (John 3:3-5; Acts 2:38; Rom. 3:21-26; 2 Cor. 5:17-21; Eph. 2:8-9; Gal. 5:22-24)
  • The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Godhead, is the seal of our inheritance, empowering all believers to be conformed into the image of Jesus. Through the Holy Spirit, all true believers persevere to the end. (John 3:8; 14:16-17; 16:7-11; 1 Cor. 12:4-11; 13)
  • The Church is the bride of Christ and is made up of all believers who have acknowledged Jesus as Lord and Savior. Believers are exhorted to gather together in local congregations to devote themselves to biblical instruction, prayer, worship, fellowship and service, observing the ordinances of the church; water baptism and the Lord’s Supper. (Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 2:42-47; Eph. 5:25-27; Rev. 21:2-3)
  • Jesus will return one day as the rightful King over all creation and will judge the living and the dead. Those who have trusted in Christ will spend everlasting life with God, while those who remained in their sin will be condemned to eternal punishment, separated in hell from God. (Luke 16:19-26; 23:43; 1 Cor. 15:42-44; 2 Cor. 5:8; Phil. 1:23; 2 Thes. 1:7-9; Rev. 20:11-15)

In addition to these core doctrines, we seek to cooperate within the Southern Baptist tradition. You can find a much more detailed expression of these core beliefs within the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith and the Baptist Faith and Message 2000. Finally, historic creeds and statements such as the Apostle’s Creed and the Five Solas of the Reformation are tools used to help communicate essential agreements in the Christian Faith.
