An extraordinary church emerges when team ministry is embraced.   We value team oriented ministry emphasizing that every member of the body of Christ is a minister.  When each individual expresses their spiritual gifts in concert with the body of Christ, extraordinary and eternal impact takes place that would otherwise be impossible.  We believe it is a vital part of the maturing process to help believers discover, develop, and deploy their spiritual gifts.  (Romans 12:1-8; I Corinthians 12; Ephesians 4:1-16)  *
