We believe in God the Father, Lord of heaven and earth. He is not like human beings, yet he cares deeply for us.
We believe in Jesus the Messiah, who is God in the flesh - sent by the Father as an expression of compassion, truth, and justice. He heals the sick, gives sight to the blind, and proclaims freedom to the oppressed. He was unjustly tortured and executed, and he rose from the dead on the third day. He calls us to follow him in life with God and love of others.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who lives within us individually and among us as the church. He empowers us to follow Jesus wholeheartedly, and he plants within us the Father's love for the people around us.
We believe the world is broken, fallen, and yet beautiful. God desires to redeem his creation, and he chooses to use his people, the church, as his ambassadors in this mission.
We submit ourselves to our loving Father God.
We commit to following Jesus in word and deed.
We will speak words of truth and life to our family of faith and to the world around us. We give ourselves to serve God and others in all we do.
