Agreed Statement of Belief

We believe in one God who has expressed himself in personal ways.
We know God’s personality as Father, 
Son and Holy Spirit.


   We believe the Bible communicates God’s saving message and is our reliable
authority in all matters related
to faith and Christian living.

   We believe that all humanity struggles with a downward pull.

   We believe that unless we experience God’s help and salvation through a faith commitment to Jesus Christ,
our future is one of eternal separation from God and all that is good.

   We believe the love and grace of God is extended to every person in the provision Jesus Christ
made in his
death and resurrection. By turning from our own selfishness and trusting Jesus Christ,
we experience a new
life, being freed from the old patterns of self–destructive acts called sin.

   We believe our new life in Jesus Christ is the gateway to transformation. Following our moment of faith in
Jesus, we believe there is another moment in which we present our life completely to Christ in order to live
under his authority and to experience his transforming power.

   We believe that Christian experience is more than a change of mind. It is accompanied by assurance that is
grounded in both the Scriptures as well as the inner witness of God’s Spirit.

   We believe that all who live for Jesus Christ have an eternal future.
Our belief in such a future includes both
the fulfillment of God’s creative purpose as well as the accountability
of all persons endowed with the power
of choice.
