Our Beliefs

God

We believe in one God, the Father, The Almighty, maker of heaven and earth- of all that is seen and unseen

Jesus

We believe in the mystery of salvation through Jesus Christ. God became human in Jesus whose life, death and resurrection demonstrate God's redeeming love.

The Holy SPirit

The Holy Spirit is God's present activity in our midst. When we sense God's leading, God's challenge, or God's support or comfort, it's the Holy Spirit at work.

Human Beings

All of humanity has been made in the image of our Creator. Like God, we all have the capacity to love and care, to communicate, and to create.

The Church

The Church is the body of Christ, an extension of Christ's life and ministry in the world today.

The Bible

We believe that the Bible is the primary authority for our faith and practice.

God's Reign

The kingdom or reign of God is both a present reality and future hope.
