WHAT WE BELIEVE
We are a Christian community centered on Jesus Christ - in the words of the Apostle Paul - it is in him that we move and live and have our being (Acts 17). With our focus on Christ he affects all matters of our life and we realize that what we think about the world matters. What you think about God matters. It determines what values you'll have, it determines what choices that you'll make. In the Spring of 2016 our Leadership Team worked really hard to put together a statement of faith that would accurately describe where we are as a church without being overly restrictive on issues in which faithful Christians often disagree upon. You'll notice that a lot of people's pet theology topics are left off of this statement. There are a few things that drive us. First and foremost - we are about Jesus Christ. We worship Him, we long to know Him and allow His Spirit to transform us. We believe that His Father created us. We start our statement of faith not with Scripture, but with God - because God is always at the center.
This list isn't inclusive of every position that we would take on all matters - but it forms the center of our structure of belief. We hold to the historic creeds and affirmations of the broad Christian church - the Apostles Creed and Nicene Creed. If you have any questions somebody from our Leadership Team or a staff member would love to meet and talk. |
