Our Beliefs

  • Our beliefs begin with the Great Confession, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, and we accept him as our Lord and Savior.
  • We believe that Baptism is most symbolically practiced by immersion, but we accept anyone’s prior baptisms whether by sprinkling, or as an infant.
  • We observe communion in every worship service, and believe it is central to those worship experiences. All are invited to participate with no exceptions.
  • We believe that we should in matters of faith allow for diversity of conviction and opinion.
  • Every Christian should study scripture, reflect on God’s message through the Holy Spirit, and come to their own understanding for their own accounting.
  • In concert with the previous stated conviction, we believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and is best understood when studied within a community of faith. We recognize and rejoice in the diversity that God has provided us, for the richness of thoughts and viewpoints it brings.
  • We believe the Body of Christ is one in the Church universal, and so we seek unity with all Christians. We believe that Jesus Christ came to unite us, even in our differences.
