About God

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is both holy and loving.

About Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the unique Son of God. He lived a sinless human life and died on the cross to atone for our sins. He rose from the dead and ascended to heaven and will return again to earth.

About the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. When we receive Jesus as the leader of our lives and the forgiver of our sins, the Holy Spirit comes to live within us. He provides us with power for living, enables us to understand spiritual truth, and guides us in doing what pleases God. As Christians we seek to live under His control daily.

About the Bible

The Bible is God’s word written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the final authority for determining our Christian beliefs and how we are to live.

About Human Beings

People are made in the spiritual image of God — we are rational and moral beings. Because we are God’s creation made in God’s image, each person possesses great self-worth. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of self-centeredness which the Bible calls “sin.” This attitude and behavior separates us from God, others and ourselves and results in disintegration of all creation and death.

About being made right with God

Becoming right with God and having our relationship with God restored is what the Bible calls salvation. Salvation is God’s free gift to us. We can never earn it or achieve it by self-improvement or good works. We accept God’s gift of a new life when we turn from our self-ruled life and say YES to Jesus as our Savior and Lord. The new life that God gives us is an abundant life in this world and eternal life in the world to come.

Holiness of Heart and Life

Though we are not made right with God by our own goodness, “good works” are not optional for the Christian life. When we say YES to Jesus as our Lord, it is expected that we will grow towards loving God with all our being and our neighbors as ourselves.

About our Discipleship Path

A disciple is a person who is saying Yes to Jesus.  We use four words that help us move along the discipleship path: Worship, Connect, Grow, Go.  As we continue to move along this path with an ever deepening and widening Yes to Jesus, we become more like Him in every area of our lives.

On a typical Sunday in our Traditional Worship service, we affirm our faith by reciting the historic and ancient Apostles’ Creed.

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.
