What We Believe

We believe the gospel (which is the greatest news you’ll ever hear!) – That God created us and made us to enjoy him and the world, but our sin and rebellion messed it up and we are under his judgment. Yet God sent his Son Jesus Christ into the world to die in our place for our sin and rise from the dead so that if we repent from our sin and trust in Jesus Christ we will be saved. Saved from what? To be saved is to be reconciled in our relationship with God to enjoy him and be freed from the judgment we deserve, all based on what Jesus has done. “Religion” says I obey God in order to be accepted by God. The Gospel says, I’m accepted by God through his Son Jesus Christ, therefore I obey him. To understand the difference is to understand the main tenet of the gospel (and that is part of the good news!). We believe that the Bible is God’s Word to humanity and that it is trustworthy and without error in the original manuscripts. Therefore we seek to hear, read, pay attention to, believe, receive, and obey God’s Word to us. You can listen to how our teaching is expressed in the preaching on Sundays.

Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, since he who promised is faithful. And let us watch out for one another to provoke love and good works, not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:23-25 We believe the Christian life is fundamentally relational in nature. Relationships require commitment in order to flourish. Church membership is taking mutual responsibility for one another’s discipleship. The commitments are made clear through the church covenant.

OUR CHURCH COVENANT



As a congregational church led by a plurality of pastors, we seek to work together in an orderly manner that allows proper communication and mechanisms for leadership and congregational decision-making. Our agreed upon manner is found in our constitution.
