OUR STORY
The IE Church began in 1999 with a dream of being and building Jesus’ church according to the Scriptures. Since that time we have grown from a handful of Christians to attendance of several hundreds every Sunday. We have sent out many of our members to start or strengthen sister congregations throughout the United States and abroad. Our congregation is quite diverse in age, race, and socioeconomic background yet is unified by the Spirit of God. We are committed to serving God, loving one another, and reaching the world around us with Christ’s message.
We support benevolent works around the world through HOPE worldwide and missionary churches throughout the world and mainly the Middle East.
WHO WE ARE
Our doctrine is simple; we just want to follow Jesus as Christians did in the New Testament. We believe Jesus paid the debt of sin on the cross and has offered everyone salvation in his name and membership in his church. When one truly believes in Jesus, repents of their sin, surrenders their life to his Lordship, and is baptized into Christ, they are saved by his grace. They should then live their life for his glory and his purposes, according to his Word.
THE CHURCH COMMUNITY
SHARING IN FELLOWSHIP AND STRENGTHENING
As members of the body, we are connected by our immersion in water that united us with Christ’s death and brought with it the promise of absolute forgiveness, the Holy Spirit, and a new life. Together, we make up the church body and commit our devotion to being members of the family of God – a community that helps its members grow to be like Jesus.
Every Sunday at 10 am we meet at our different locations for our worship gathering. There you will find warm fellowship, stirring music, a dynamic children’s program, and relevant messages from God’s Word. Dress is casual and everyone is welcome.
OUR MISSION, VISION & VALUES
Christians, as disciples of Jesus, surrender fully to God’s lordship, beginning with faith in Christ, repentance, confession, and baptism, which marks their rebirth and reception of the Holy Spirit. Believers are called to love God and others wholeheartedly, pursue personal holiness, and live lives set apart from worldly ways. It affirms devotion to the one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—highlighting Jesus as the cornerstone of faith and Scripture as God’s inspired, authoritative Word. Salvation is described as an act of God’s grace, received through obedient faith and sustained by lifelong commitment. Finally, Christians are charged with participating in the Great Commission, living out a Christlike example, supporting the global church, and showing compassion to the poor as part of their mission in the world.
