We are followers of Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus taught us, in his life and words, what it means to be part of the Kingdom of God. We believe that he offered himself as the sacrifice for our sin, and that he rose from the dead.
We accept the New Testament Gospels as accurate accounts of Jesus' life and teachings. Because Jesus held firmly to the Scriptures as the inspired Word of God, divinely authoritative and without error, so do we. We believe the Bible is the only complete and infallible source of truth and standard of faith. We evaluate all ideas, traditions and actions according to the teaching of Scripture.
We believe that, as Scripture teaches, the God of the Bible is the only true God. We believe that he created everything that exists. We believe that he exists in three personally distinct ways: as Father, as Son and as Holy Spirit. We believe that, in Jesus, God became one of us so that we could know him and come into relationship with him. We not only pattern our lives after Jesus, we worship him as God incarnate.
We believe that the Spirit draws us to Jesus so that we can experience new spiritual life through placing our faith in him. We believe that God is spiritually renewing and transforming us, making us like Jesus. We believe that God calls us to live lives of humble obedience to him, continual spiritual growth and maturity, and loving service to others. We believe that he calls us to live out this new life in community with the church, our brothers and sisters in Christ. We believe that he sends us out to tell others of his love and truth, so that they also may become followers of Jesus Christ. We believe that one day Jesus will come again to bring all things to perfect renewal and completion in him.
