About Onward Church
Our Vision
We believe that God has called us to focus on training Christians to obey Jesus—especially as it relates to disciple-making. We do this through teaching the Word, assembling as a community for worship, and keeping it simple in all aspects of our church. We welcome you to join us for our corporate worship and to get involved in one of our Life Groups.
Our Beliefs
We believe that the only hope of the human race is Jesus. Salvation is found only in Jesus through faith alone, and not by any of our own works. We believe that the Holy Bible has been given to us by God and is completely true and completely correct. It gives us all that we need in order to live the Christian life, and instructs us to grow as Christ’s disciples and then make disciples of others.

What to Expect
We understand that visiting a new church can be a little intimidating. But we promise that you won’t find a more welcoming group of people anywhere. We’re family, and we’d love you to be part of it. We love Jesus, love each other, and we do our best to encourage each other to “love and good deeds.” (Heb 10:24). Here are the answers to some common questions.
