Statement of Faith

We believe there is only one living and true God, who eternally exists in three distinct persons — God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, and proclaim Him Lord and Savior of the world.

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the ultimate authority for what we believe and for how we live. We hold to the centrality of scripture, recognizing that each person has the freedom – and the responsibility – to study God’s Word personally and within the church community.

We practice the baptism of believers, which emphasizes that God’s grace demands a response of faith and discipleship, while also recognizing the baptism performed in other churches.

We gather at the Lord’s Table for the Lord’s Supper every Sunday (and as often as possible), experiencing at this table the gracious, forgiving presence of Jesus Christ.

We structure our community around the biblical idea of covenant, emphasizing not obedience to human authority but accountability to one another because of our shared obedience to Christ.

We participate in God’s reconciling mission for the world, working alongside other ministry partners to heal the brokenness of creation and bring justice and peace to the whole of creation.

We hear a special calling to make visible the unity of all Christians, proclaiming that in our diversity we belong to one another because we commonly belong to Christ.

We believe the Holy Spirit indwells all true believers and enables them to live a godly life.

We affirm the priesthood of all believers, embracing the gifts of the Holy Spirit, sovereignly given to all true believers for the common good.

We celebrate the diversity of lived experiences, affirming our different histories, styles of worship, and forms of service.

We anticipate Jesus’ coming reign and seek to serve the One – who is Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer – whose Kingdom has no end.
