We welcome everyone who welcomes everyone. This is our guiding principle.

In Essential Beliefs - we believe that there should be unity. Ephesians 4:4-6

In Non-Essential Beliefs - we believe that there should be freedom. Romans 14:10-14

In All Our Beliefs - we believe that we must maintain love toward each other. 1st Corinthians 13:2

We believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. We believe that Jesus Christ, out of love for the world, died on the cross as atonement for our sins and to make possible the new life promised in Scripture. We believe that Jesus Christ was resurrected (rose from the dead), ascended into heaven, and offers the gift of eternal life for all who will believe in Him.

We believe that there is one true God, of everlasting and infinite power, goodness, and wisdom. We believe that God is the creator and sustainer of the entire Universe. Moreover, we believe within the unity of the God there are three persons of one substance, power, and will, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that God's paramount characteristics (the trunk of the tree, if you will) are love, mercy, justice, and grace. God loves us just as we are, yet also calls each of us into growth and greater Christian living.

We believe that God's presence can be felt and known through many vehicles, such as other persons, the Word, and the Church, but primarily through the work of the Holy Spirit, who serves as our comforter, our guide, and our counselor.

We believe that the Bible, inspired by God and recorded by humans, is the guide and final authority for our lives. The Bible contains all that we need to know regarding salvation. The Bible is to be received through the Holy Spirit as the true rule and guide for faith and practice.

In the most basic sense, the human condition (historically called original sin) refers to the fact that we all admit that we need God's forgiveness and grace. It involves admitting that we need God's power to change our lives and hearts away from being self-centered towards serving and loving God and others.

We believe that forgiveness of sin is offered to us by God, and that as Christians we need to confess our faith in Christ as Savior and Lord, accepting Christ as the master of our lives, and the Holy Spirit as our guide through life.

There is nothing one can do to earn salvation, because it is a gift from God. All we need to do is accept the gift.

We believe that the Church of Jesus Christ is the body of believers, men, women, and children in which the Word of God is preached and shared, sacraments administered, and the building up of one another in Christian love and charity takes place.

We believe the sacraments are the visible and outward signs of God's invisible and inward grace. They are means by which God works to bless, enrich, nourish, challenge, and change the hearts and lives of those who participate in them. There are only two sacraments that are ordained by Christ in the Gospel: baptism and the Lord's Supper.

Baptism is a sign and profession of one's acceptance of Christ's power and rule in their lives, as well as the washing away of sins, and hence represents the new birth made possible through Christ. We believe in baptizing both infants and adults as was modeled in the early Church and by the apostle Paul.

We believe that the Lord's Supper is a meal open to any and all who are seeking a relationship with Christ. We believe God freely gives from God's table. The Lord's Supper is a time to remember what Christ has done for us, as well as serving as a reminder for each of us to live out the life that Christ lived. It is a means in which God strengthens us, nourishes our soul, and allows us to receive God's grace. All are welcome at Christ's table.
