OUR BELIEFS

The Gospel Of Grace (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Jesus Christ: His perfect example in life, sacrificial death on the cross, and victory over sin are the ultimate expression of God’s love and purpose for us.

Grace: The work of Jesus to make us new is God’s undeserved gift. The new life, real change, and new life-giving relationships come through this grace alone.

Kingdom: The grace of God in Jesus Christ reveals the new, dynamic reality of God’s reign. This is life God’s way revealed in the world through the Church.

The Church As Family (Ephesians 2:11-22)

Trinity: The Triune God—Father, Son, and Spirit—is the pattern and power of our community.
We are a family in Christ, belonging to God and each other by grace.

Scripture: Our family follows Jesus by living according to God’s Word. It is the authoritative guide
because through it we know Jesus Christ, the true and living way.

Reconciliation: As a family in Christ, we belong to one another by grace, no longer according to

traditional, racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic divisions. Following Jesus includes a commitment to the unity and diversity of God’s Kingdom, not only that in/of our locale, but as a biblical conviction, a strategic gift for witness, and foretaste of our eternal future.

The Work of Mission (Ephesians 2:10; 4:12-16)

Worship: Mission begins and finds its power in worship. It is through worship that God’s people encounter him, receive his perspective, are strengthened by his Word, and are sent by him into the world. And mission exists to lead the people of the world into the worship of God.

Discipleship: To know Jesus through relationship and to follow him by action are inseparable aspects of mission. We cannot truly know him without following him into action, nor can we imitate him without the intimacy of relationship. Following Jesus includes both intimacy and action.

Service: The work of Jesus through the Church is God’s gift to the world. So our gifts flow from worship into service of both the church family and the surrounding community. Both are indispensable as expressions of God’s grace.
