we
believe
-
in one God who comes to us in three persons:
-
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
-
that God reveals himself to us through the Holy Spirit
and the Bible and through his Son, Jesus
-
that God created the world and that people, created
in God's image, find ultimate fulfilment in God
-
that because of self-centered disobedience, people
are separated from God and so face an eternal death
-
that God offers to rescue us through faith in Jesus
-
that God's rescue is offered freely to anyone who
will accept it
-
that the Bible as our primary guide for life and
faith
-
true faith is expressed not only in words, but also
by the way we live from day to day
-
that the values of a Jesus-follower are profoundly
different from the values of this world; our highest aspiration is to serve
God by humbly serving others
-
we practice church life as a family of believers
committed to mutual love and care. All believers are "ministers"
in the church.
-
that Jesus the Prince of Peace, is our model for
living and the answer to human need, hostility, and violence; he commands
us to respect life, love all people (even our enemies), reconcile broken
relationships and pursue justice.
