We believe in order to be a unified family of believers, the following fundamentals are essential in believing, living by and sharing convictions as the core of our foundation.
bible church
We are a Bible Church, not just a New Testament Church. All scripture is God-breathed and is useful and is to be applied to our lives.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
APPLY THE BIBLE
Speak where the Bible is silent and be silent where the Bible speaks. We are free to practice and name anything as long as it does not conflict with scripture.
genesis 2:19
MAKE DISCIPLES
We believe in every member of the body of Christ being disciples of Jesus and in relationships that teach and mature us in the teachings of Christ.
MATTHEW 28:18-20
unity in leadership
God’s plan is for a central leadership of His people where there is unity, just as it was throughout the Bible when God’s people were unified there was a central leader.
Numbers 27:12-18
REACH ALL NATIONS
God’s will is for all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. We believe in evangelizing the nations in this generation as Jesus teaches.
1 Timothy 2:3-4
The truth of god’s word is at the core of everything we do.

JOIN US FOR AN EVENT
College is a time when many young people are starting new chapters in their lives, discovering their passions and learning who they really are. Our goal at THRIVE is to help students channel their passions by teaching them about God! We hold weekly, informal Bible discussions called Bible Talks where we discuss the Bible and how it relates to students.
Not only do we have Bible Talks, but we also offer one-on-one Bible studies at any time of the week. Our students also look forward to our weekly Friday Night Devotional after a long week of studying. We have free BBQ’s, parties, games, and many other events to help you unwind from the busy life of college and have some fun!
To meet up for a personal Bible Study, join us for one of our events, or attend a Worship Service, please contact us today.
