What we believe

We Are a Humble People
In Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit, God the Father offers forgiveness of sin and reconciliation to all the world.  Those who respond to God's offer in faith become the people of God.  In being reconciled to God, we believe that we are also to be reconciled to one another, loving each other as we have been loved by God.  We believe that our life together is to exemplify the character of Christ,

As people who are consecrated to God, we share His love for the lost and His compassion for the poor and broken.  The Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40) and the Great Commission (Matthew  28:19-20) move us to engage the world in evangelism, compassion, and justice.  To this end we are committed to inviting to faith, to caring for those in need, to standing against injustice and with the oppressed, to working to protect and preserve the resources of God's creation, and to including in our fellowship all who will call upon the name of the Lord.  Through its mission in the world, the Church demonstrates the love of God.

Because we are called by Scripture and drawn by grace to worship God and love him with our whole heart, soul, mind, strength, and our neighbors as ourselves, we commit ourselves fully and completely to God, believing that to be sanctified wholly.  We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts, cleanses, fills, and empowers us as the grace of God transforms us day by day into a people of love, spiritual discipline, ethical and moral purity, compassion, and justice.  It is the work of the Holy Spirit that restores us in the image of God and produces in us the character of Christ.
