We have a vision to be followers of Jesus who are intentionally inclusive of others, regardless of their background or beliefs, and who will invite others to participate in our community of faith where we 'do life together' under the direction and authority of God's Word. Together as a community, we will learn, pray, study God's word, eat, play and serve others. We will celebrate and worship God's goodness with authenticity and relevancy. We will be a church that engages and serves our larger community in tangible ways, demonstrating God's love and the hope of the gospel through our actions and words.
1. A personal relationship with God. We think God is not only believed in with the head, but experienced from the heart. We value the life of the Spirit that flows out of obedience to the Lordship of Jesus.
2. Relationships with people. People are made for relationships with each other that are built on trust, honesty, love and forgiveness. We value a relational community, where people can connect with God and one another.
3. Authenticity. We value being transparent, honest, real and practical, and walking in the integrity of Christ. We seek to deeply know and be known as vital traits of a Jesus follower.
4. Serving Christ. We serve the Risen Lord by serving others in real and practical ways, allowing Him to touch and transform lives through us.
5. Relevance. We believe that the Bible powerfully intersects, challenges the surrounding culture, subverting the world's values with Jesus' Kingdom of Heaven.
We believe in God as eternal Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God the Eternal King is the only one worthy of worship. God created and sustains the universe. In the eternal purposes of God, the Father, had planned to bring many sons and daughters to glory in God forever.
We believe that God became human in Jesus Christ. Jesus came to restore a world which rejected God in disobedience. Jesus taught and modeled the way of God’s kingdom. He died on the cross, making it possible for us to receive renewed relationship with God. He rose from the dead, broke the power of sin and death, and frees us to live in obedience to God’s will.
We believe that God the Holy Spirit invites all people to be reconciled with God and to join the global family of faith. Believers confess their faith, are baptized, and join in the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. Through the power of the Holy Spirit and guided by the Bible, members of the church seek to live as followers of Christ and invite others to experience this new life.
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church*,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.
*meaning the universal Christian church—all believers in Jesus Christ
We believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
begotten from the Father before all ages,
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made;
of the same essence as the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven;
he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit
and the virgin Mary,
and was made human.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered and was buried.
The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again with glory
to judge the living and the dead.
His kingdom will never end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life.
He proceeds from the Father and the Son,
and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.
He spoke through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look forward to the resurrection of the dead,
and to life in the world to come.
Amen.
