Our Core Beliefs

Who is God?

We know God as the Trinity, the eternal supreme being who exists as three distinct persons:  the Father; the Son (Jesus);  and the Holy Spirit.  Each person of the Trinity is co-equal, co-eternal, and distinct in their role.

God the Father is the all powerful, ever-present Creator of the Universe.  He is love and the source of all love. 

Who are We?

We are created by God, in His image, to have fellowship with Him and to be stewards of His creation.   God gives us the gift of free will.  But we sometimes use that gift of free will to sin--to act in opposition to God.  

How Did God Respond to Our Sin?

Because of God's great love for us, the Son, Jesus, came to dwell among humans and teach us how to live.   Jesus, the Christ,--the Messiah--gave his life on the cross, taking on the penalty of humanity’s sins to offer us eternal life with God.

How Do We Know?

The Bible is our guide for faith and practice.  It is a book from God that tells about the creation of the world and people.  It tells of the fall of humans into sin, and of the opportunity for our redemption through Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.  Through the scriptures, we also know about God as the Holy Spirit, who dwells within believers, guiding us as we seek God’s will.
