What We Believe
We believe Jesus is the center and meaning of life, revealing the nature and character of God to the world. We believe the church belongs to Jesus; we believe that God is at work through the church, moving toward a sane and stable world. We believe the Bible is the divinely inspired record of humanity’s authentic spiritual experiences with God, and the primary authority in matters of faith and practice. We believe Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience are all part of determining our church’s direction and values. We believe God’s Holy Spirit is available and active in our world, our church and our lives, leading us in unity and propelling us with divine power. We believe Jesus Christ can bring real change in the human heart through grace and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We believe each Christ follower has spiritual gifts that give true meaning to living and strengthen our shared ministry. We accept an openness in theological belief, acknowledging different points of view within the same community of believers. We believe faith and good works belong together, as a personal relationship with God leads to involvement in Christian service and witness to the world. We believe that the church is not a building, but a group of God’s people doing their best to serve and worship Him, and to be examples of His love in our community and the world.
