About The Bible - We believe the Bible to be the voices of many who have come before us, inspired by God to continue to speak to us today. We believe that the Bible contains the distinctive and authoritative testimony for all Christian belief and practice, and that Jesus Christ is the interpretive principle of the Scriptures. God calls us to immerse ourselves in the Scriptures and to continue to faithfully live out its story today as we are led by the Spirit.
(2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:19-21; Hebrews 1:1-3; Luke 24:44-47; Romans 7:6, 8:1-4)
About The Church - As followers of Jesus, we are called into a new community called the Church which puts God on display to the world. In our life together, each of us is called to share our gifts in service, and through the power of the Spirit our life together leads to the renewal and healing of our lives, our neighborhood, and our world.
We believe there is one true church, universal, comprised of all those who acknowledge Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. We practice the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper and await the return of Christ. We believe the church is called together by God's Spirit as an agent of reconciliation in the world, to engage the culture, and to put the resurrected Christ who lives in and through us on display to a broken and hurting world. We believe that God works through the church to bring God’s family back together through Jesus Christ.
(Matthew 5:13-16; Matthew 16:18; Acts 1-12; Ephesians 4:1-16)
