It's All About Jesus
We love Jesus. A lot. He is our identity, our hope and our message.Faith
It’s about believe before seeing. We frame our lives with faith and view setbacks as set-ups.Community
We love people, just like Jesus did. We choose honor, generosity and authenticity as a way of life; cultivating a safe space where everyone can experience belonging and transformation.Empowerment
Its about elevating those around us by seeing the good in others and calling them into their God-given identity.Action
We take action on justice and serve with joy, living a life of creation instead of consumption. Where there’s a need, we fill it.Sustainability
It’s about living in slow rhythms, simplicity, and finding a balance between work & rest. We take responsibility of being good stewards of God’s creation.“For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but will have eternal life.”
John 3:16
What We Believe
Bible
The Bible is the written Word of God, given by divine inspiration. The authors spoke and wrote as they were moved by the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Scriptures are the supreme, authoritative, and infallible revelation of God’s will for humanity. They are the trustworthy record of God’s acts in history, and the only and definitive revealer of doctrine. (Ps. 119:105; Prov. 30:5, 6; Isa. 8:20; John 17:17; 1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Tim. 3:16, 17; Heb. 4:12; 2 Peter 1:20, 21.)
God
There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; a unity of three coeternal persons who exist as one substance. God is immortal, all-powerful, all-knowing, above all, and ever present. He is infinite and beyond human comprehension, yet known through His self-revelation. God, who is love, is forever worthy of worship, adoration, and service by the whole creation. (Gen. 1:26; Deut. 6:4; Isa. 6:8; Matt. 28:19; John 3:16 2 Cor. 1:21, 22; 13:14; Eph. 4:4-6; 1 Peter 1:2.)
Jesus
Jesus Christ, being both fully God and fully man, lived a sinless life, He suffered and died voluntarily on the cross for our sins, was raised from the dead, and ascended into heaven. Through Him all things were created, the character of God is revealed, the salvation of humanity is accomplished, and the world is judged. He will come again in glory for the final deliverance of His people and the restoration of all things. (Isa. 53:4-6; Dan. 9:25-27; Luke 1:35; John 1:1-3, 14; 5:22; 10:30; 14:1-3, 9, 13; Rom. 6:23; 1 Cor. 15:3, 4; 2 Cor. 3:18; 5:17-19; Phil. 2:5-11; Col. 1:15-19; Heb. 2:9- 18; 8:1, 2.)
Salvation
Salvation is a free gift of God and cannot be earned by human effort. It is extended to all, received by grace through faith in the substitutionary life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through Christ we are justified (declared “righteous”), adopted as God’s sons and daughters, and delivered from the lordship of sin and death. Jesus provides God’s only way for salvation, making him the sufficient and only payment for our sin. (Gen. 3:15; Isa. 45:22; 53; Jer. 31:31-34; Ezek. 33:11; 36:25-27; Hab. 2:4; Mark 9:23, 24; John 3:3-8, 16; 16:8; Rom. 3:21-26; 8:1-4, 14-17; 5:6-10; 10:17; 12:2; 2 Cor. 5:17-21; Gal. 1:4; 3:13, 14, 26; 4:4-7; Eph. 2:4-10; Col. 1:13, 14; Titus 3:3-7; Heb. 8:7-12; 1 Peter 1:23; 2:21, 22; 2 Peter 1:3, 4; Rev. 13:8.)
Humanity
Man, created in the image and likeness of God, is the supreme object of the created order. When our first parents disobeyed God, they denied their reliance upon Him and fell from their high position. As a result of their sin, the image of God was marred in them and they became subject to death. Their descendants inherit this fallen condition and depraved nature. They are born with weaknesses and propensities to evil. But God through Christ reconciled the world to Himself and by the Holy Spirit restores in repentant persons the image of God. Humanity was and is created for the glory of God, they are called to love Him and one another, and to cultivate and care for their environment. (Gen. 1:26-28; 2:7, 15; 3; Ps. 8:4-8; 51:5, 10; 58:3; Jer. 17:9; Acts 17:24-28; Rom. 5:12-17; 2 Cor. 5:19, 20; Eph. 2:3; 1 Thess. 5:23; 1 John 3:4; 4:7, 8, 11, 20.)
The Kingdom
The Kingdom of heaven is a central theme in the teaching and way of Jesus. At its heart is the basic meaning of God’s rule and reign being carried out on earth as it is in heaven. We believe that every Believer is called and commissioned to bring the goodness of heaven to earth—a divine foretaste—establishing the will of God here as it is already known in heaven. The kingdom of God, as it is also referred to, is more than just salvation. It includes healing the sick, fixing injustice, taking care of the oppressed, opposing corruption, sharing kindness and compassion, loving your neighbor and loving God. We believe the Kingdom of God is already, but not yet; its full consummation finalized at second coming of Jesus. (Isa. 32:1; Dan. 7:27; Matt. 4:17; 5:3; 6:10; 12:28; 13:44; 18:1-5; 19:24; Mark 1:15; Lk. 9:2; 17:20-21; 19:11-27; John 3:3-5; Romans 14:17; Col. 1:13.)
The Church
The church is a local community of believers who are united by the holy spirit through faith in Christ. It is committed to following the teachings of Jesus and growing in its apprenticeship of Him. The church comes together for worship, for fellowship, for instruction, for celebration of the Lord’s Supper, for service to humanity, and for the proclamation of the gospel. The church works together in love and unity to bring glory and honor to Christ. (Gen. 12:1-3; Exod. 19:3-7; Matt. 16:13-20; 18:18; 28:19, 20; Acts 2:38-42; 7:38; 1 Cor. 1:2; Eph. 1:22, 23; 2:19-22; 3:8-11; 5:23-27; Col. 1:17, 18; Heb. 10:24-25; 1 Peter 2:9.)
