What We Believe

God is Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Humanity is created in the image of God. We are loved by God. God created the world with purpose, intention, meaning, and love.

Sin has broken the world. Sin is not a list of violations of the law – it is the experience of brokenness that we are born into. We cannot repair it by our own efforts.

Jesus was God incarnate. He lived a sinless life, teaching us to love God and love others. He died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead.

The cross was where Jesus received the punishment for our sins onto himself. When we believe in Jesus, our sins are transferred onto Jesus' cross, and we are forgiven.

The resurrection began on the morning that we now call Easter, the day that Jesus rose. We know that we who believe in him are saved from death and will rise to eternal life with him.

The Holy Spirit empowers the church. It bestows gifts of the Spirit on believers to enable them to supernaturally demonstrate God's kingdom in the world.

The Bible is God's Word and is our authority in all matters of faith and life.

The Church is the gathering of followers of Jesus. We do life and faith together in pursuit of him.
