We believe that God created the heavens and the earth out of nothing and that He lovingly and carefully created each of us to be in relationship with Him. When sin entered the world it put a chasm between us and God, making it more difficult to hear Him or follow Him through all the noise, temptations and distractions in our lives. Without a relationship and direction from the creator of life, people began living their lives in direct opposition to how God created us to live. He sent His son Jesus, the second person of the Trinity, to conquer sin, and offer Himself as a ransom for us, dying on a cross in our place for the lives we had been living. With His life, death, and resurrection and His conquering of sin, He created a bridge over that chasm that once existed and gave us a direct path to a relationship with God through the Holy Spirit. We believe the best decision you can make is to choose to follow Jesus and live a life in relationship with Him.
We believe the Bible is God's word written by human authors. It is without error, needs no revisions, and is the best source for getting to know and understand God's character and purpose for our lives.
We believe the Jesus-following life is best lived alongside others who are trying to follow His teachings and life. We also believe we have a responsibility to serve in both our local and global communities.
We believe meeting together, serving together, learning together, and worshipping together are core to our faith.
We believe mentoring is a biblical model for personal and spiritual growth, and encourage our clergy to find a trusted mentor to lead and challenge them.
We believe every couple that desires to be married deserves the right to celebrate, and we love and value all forms of marriage between two people.
'But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ — by grace you have been saved.' – Ephesians 2:4-5
