- Ocean Hills is a Christ-centered church with a spirit that says, "No Perfect people allowed!" We accept each other regardless of where we're at on our journey and help each other grow closer to Christ. It is our heart's desire to help each other take the next step in becoming more & more like Christ.
- Ocean Hills places great importance on solid and practical Bible teaching. The Scriptures are foundational to shaping and growing us.
- At Ocean Hills we desire to help people answer the question, "Why are we here?" and then to encourage people to discover and develop their God-given potential - which always leads to living beyond ourselves!
- The focus of our ministry is not only on a celebrative and uplifting style of worship, but also on fulfilling the Great Commandment (Mark 12:28-31) and the Great Commission (Mathew 28:19-20) in our generation.
- We believe followers of Christ enjoy a wholesome freedom with flexibility allowing for certain differences (doctrinally and otherwise) without becoming divisive. At Ocean Hills, we distinguish clearly between the essentials relating to salvation (never to be compromised) and the non-essentials.
- As Pastors and staff, our life together is based on coaching, caring for, and equipping others for spiritual ministry and leadership.
- Ocean Hills values partnership with other churches, seeing itself as interdependent rather than independent; we believe that our God-given task as Christians is always a shared task, both locally and globally. That's why we are part of a larger family - the Evangelical Covenant Church.
