The Fount is an evangelical and historically Wesleyan community of faith, holding to the historic, orthodox Protestant doctrines of the Christian faith.
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, divinely inspired guide for both faith and practice.
Our Vision
Through the years, the church has seen its purpose expand. Initially, our vision was to be “A Bible Teaching Church for All Ages.” Through that vision, and focusing on the Bible, we came to envision ourselves as “A Biblical Family of Joyful Servants, Sharing the Love of God in a Broken World.” More recently, however, we have determined to embody this mission: Making and Growing Disciples of Jesus Christ.

Our Values
We hold the Bible as authoritative for both our faith and our practice. That means we place ourselves under the authority of the Bible, not ourselves over the Bible. If it says something that we do not like, our response is to understand it in context, interpret it for our time, and obey it.
As such, our values as a church reflect the values of the Bible to the best of our ability to understand. Jesus instructed us to love God, love neighbor and (as) love self (Luke 10:27). Therefore we endeavor to:
Love God (Truth)
Love Neighbor (Compassion)
Love Self (Holiness)
We endeavor to “speak the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15) and to hold one another to these values.
