Our purpose: Changing Lives through Jesus Christ.
...lead a life worthy of the calling to which you
have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience,
bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain
the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and
one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your
calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and
Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. But each
of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ's gift.
Ephesians 4:1-7 (NRSV)
We are a community of faith committed to Scriptureinspired by
God, trustworthy, reliable, and authoritative for shaping and communicating
truth and reality. We find in Scripture these truths to which we hold:
-
There is one God, eternally existing in three
persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
-
There is one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of
God; living a perfect life of ministry and love; dying on the cross for the
sins of all people; rising on the third day; ascending to the right hand of
God.
-
There is one Spirit, the Holy Spirit, the gift
of God at salvation, the indwelling of God, effecting transformation in the
minds, hearts, and lives of those who believe.
-
There is one faith, faith that is rooted in
Jesus Christ, expressed through a life of active obedience to God's will.
-
There is one baptism, demonstrating a complete
surrender to God and trust in the perfect sacrifice of Jesus on the cross,
uniting us with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection.
-
There is one body, the body of Christ, the
Church, empowered by the Holy Spirit to embody the character and mission of
God. Because of our response to God's salvation, He adds people to His
church, a work of God.
-
There is one hope, a hope of salvation that is
a free gift of God through Jesus Christ; a hope that does not disappoint, but
rather inspires perserverance in this life as we look forward to the life in
heaven to come in the eternal presence of God.
As a community of faith comprised of diverse individuals devoted
to fellowship with one another we understand that in areas of debate and
opinion, there is liberty. In all things, whether essential or
non-essential, we show love.
