Our Vision:  To be a Christ-centered family of God whose lives are transformed by knowing God, growing in Christ, and going together into the world in the love of Christ.

What WE

believe


These are the Biblical foundations which we embrace:


1. We believe in one externally existent God who has expressed himself in personal ways. God is Triune in essential being, revealed as Father,

Son and Holy Spirit.


2. We believe the Bible communicates God’s saving message and is our reliable authority in all matters related to faith and Christian living.


3. We believe that all humankind struggles with a downward pull that leads us

to sin, or make choices that oppose God’s best.


4. We believe that unless we experience God’s help and salvation through a faith commitment to Jesus Christ, our future is one of eternal separation from God and all that is good.


5. We believe the love and grace of God is extended to every person in the provision Jesus Christ made in his death and resurrection. By turning from our own selfishness and trusting Jesus Christ, we experience a new life, being freed from the old patterns of self-destructive acts called sin.







6. We believe our new life in Jesus Christ is the gateway to transformation. Following our step of faith in Jesus, we believe there is another step of faith in which we present our life completely to Christ in order to live under his authority and to experience his transforming power.


7. We believe that the Christian experience is more than a change of mind.

It is a change of heart and attitude. It is accompanied by assurance that is grounded in both the Scriptures as well as the inner witness of God’s Spirit.


8. We believe that all who live for Jesus Christ have an eternal future. Our belief in such a future includes both the fulfillment of God’s creative purpose as well as the accountability of all persons provided with the power of choice.
