What we believe
Because we allow and encourage freedom of thought and opinion, not all of our members agree on every theological issue. However, most of our members would say:
- We believe that God has revealed His love and will most clearly and uniquely through His Son Jesus.
- We believe Jesus to be the Christ, the One chosen and sent by God to be our Savior and Lord.
- We believe that as a People of Faith we find our unity and oneness in Jesus Christ.
- We believe the Bible to be authoritative for faith and life, and that through it we may hear God�s Word to us.
- We believe it is the responsibility of each Christian to read and study the Bible carefully and prayerfully, and to take its message seriously.
- We believe that faith and reason go together and that Christians should seek to develop a faith that is both dynamic and sensible.
- We believe that salvation comes by our faith in Jesus Christ and God�s grace expressed through Him.
- We believe faith to be more like a journey than a destination, that growth must continually occur in our understanding, service, stewardship, and commitment.
- We believe that of ultimate concern is the kind of persons we are, how we relate to God, and how we treat others of God�s children, and that Christian fellowship, worship, Bible study, and prayer are aids toward that end.
- We believe that Baptism of Water is symbolic of an inward faith; and that all Baptism is affirmed, but Immersion is preferred.
- We believe that the Celebration of the Lord�s Supper is to be offered weekly and is encouraged whenever Christians gather.
