what we believe

Centrality of Jesus Christ:

We believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and that His grace and forgiveness are the foundations of all that we do.

The Church:

We believe God calls us as a church to live as Disciples of Christ through communal worship, music, prayer, education, fellowship, service and mission; and we seek to nurture and grow these ministries.


+ + +


The Bible:

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Living Word of God and that Holy Scripture, the written word, is our witness without parallel to His reconciling truth. All of Holy Scripture is inspired by the Holy Spirit and was written through human agency within particular historical contexts. His Holy Spirit even now enables us to interpret, understand and proclaim His reconciling truth in the world today.

Inviting Others into God's Love:

We believe we are called to proclaim the Word of God as we live our daily lives.

Bible Study is Essential:

We believe that Christian Education and Bible study for all ages are essential to the growth and renewal of our faith.

Faith Forward:

We believe that children and youth are our future, and seek to find ways to meet their needs as we teach them the traditions and stories of our faith and provide opportunities for them to participate in the full life of the congregation.


+ + +


Community of Faith:

We believe that we grow in our personal faith and in our understanding of the mandate to “love our neighbor as ourselves” as we take our spiritual journeys together as Christians.

Inclusive Compassion:

We believe in reflecting God’s love as we reach out with compassion to ALL members of our church family and ALL people in our surrounding communities.
