We believe each of us is invited to respond to God’s love by loving God and loving others.

​

We believe in Jesus Christ as the One sent from God to be both fully human and fully divine. Jesus Christ taught, preached, worked miracles, and shared life with disciples while he walked this earth. His death, burial and resurrection are for us evidence of God’s love for us all.

 

We believe that God comes to us as a Trinity, three-in-one God.  We love God as Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer. We also speak about this as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is God acting in time and space through specific actions (such as creation), through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and through the holy and mysterious work of the Holy Spirit moving in our world and impacting our spirits.

​

We believe that loving our neighbor requires not only prayer but action. We believe that where God leads God will equip us for mission and ministry.

​

​We believe that forgiveness of sin frees one to live more abundantly. We also realize that the consequences of sin may continue to reverberate in our world even after we repent of sin.
