WHAT DOES THIS CHURCH BELIEVE?

1) ...that GOD is one: real, alive, close, loving and lovable, wise, generous, merciful, full of compassion, the author of all good, and "not willing that any should perish."

2) ...that God has not left us in confusion or ignorance, but has given us THE BIBLE as his reliable and authoritative Word, living and powerful, to comfort and correct.

3) ...that ALL EVIL comes from wandering away from God. That's what sin is, and God came to earth in Jesus to save us from our sin, to reconcile us to himself.

4) ...that God came to earth in the man JESUS, his Son, and laid down his life on the Cross to show us his love, to pay for our sins, and to destroy the devil and his works.

5) ...that God is present in the church by his HOLY SPIRIT, whose power is available to us today, and that he gives gifts to every believer for building up the church.

6) ...that God has chosen to reach the world through us, THE CHURCH, those who by faith are born again into his family, commanding us to grow by making disciples.

7) ...that JESUS OUR LORD WILL RETURN to earth soon - to judge the wicked, to take his people home, to take his power and reign, and to wipe away all tears.

8) We also believe that fussing about creeds is not what we are here for. They seem to have a useful function, since, as the Bible says, false teachers are always trying to creep in. So if you would like to see a longer version of what we believe, click on "A Creed" above to go to the Creed Page, a longer version. If you want a still longer version, you might be a fun person for us to talk with! Come see us!
