Our Beliefs
Our beliefs are simple, based upon the word of
God, and can be summed up in three areas:
We Are a Christian People
We are united with all believers in proclaiming the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We believe that in divine love, God offers to all people forgiveness of sins and restored relationship. In being reconciled to one another, loving each other as God has loved us, forgiving each other as we have been forgiven by God. We believe that our life together is to exemplify the character of Christ. We look to Scripture as the primary source of spiritual truth confirmed by reason, tradition, and experience.
We Are a Holiness People
We are called by Scripture and drawn by grace to worship God and to love Him with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. To this end we commit ourselves fully and completely to God. We believe that the Holy Spirit convicts, cleanses, fills and empowers us as the grace of God transforms us day by day into a people of love and spiritual discipline, compassion and justice, and ethical and moral purity. It is the work of the Holy Spirit that restores us in the image of God and produces in us the character of Christ. Holiness in the life of believers is most clearly understood as Christ-likeness.
