What We Believe

We believe that knowing God through Jesus fills life with meaning. It is His love for us and the steady and unchanging nature of His grace that changes us. We believe that he is a God of forgiveness. We believe that he is good - all the time! We believe that he is a perfect Father that cares in specific ways for each of his children.

We believe God created the universe, and He reveals Himself to us as Father, the source of all things; as Son, God in the person of Jesus Christ who died for our sin and was raised to eternal life; and as Holy Spirit, an inward, personal presence in the lives of His followers. We believe God is the source of all blessings, and all that we have and all that we are we owe to Him. We freely serve Him with our time, talent, and material possessions to use for helping others.
