Truth is very important.  If you believe something that is not true, it will have a negative effect on every area of your life.  

If you believe that your garden will grow all by itself and there is no need to plant any vegetables or care for the garden in any way, then you will be quite disappointed at harvest time!

What you believe shapes your values and affects every area of your life.  

This is also true of our church.  

Our Values reflect what we believe, and our Mission is firmly rooted in both of them.  Our Vision is the practical outworking of our Mission, which we are Strategically fulfilling.
 

An Informal Summary of our beliefs is listed below.  Please see our Statement of Faith for a more detailed explanation. 
 
 

God is real and created everything, including us.
 

Jesus is God's son and he came to earth where he overcame all evil and the forces behind it.
 

God loves us.  Because of Jesus, we can be free from the control of evil and be adopted into God's family.   He makes us new on the inside - that's why we can be free from the things that have hurt us and be free to live in love with God and others.
 

We can't earn God's love or favor.  God loves us regardless of the bad things we have done, or the good things we do.  He offers new life for free; we just need to receive it.
 

We choose to trust and follow Jesus because he sees what we can't, he knows what we don't, and he is perfectly trustworthy and we aren't.  This is where life is truly lived.  
 

The Bible is true.
 

We don't want to hold anything back from God; as we pursue our relationship with him we learn that his ways are best.
 

The Holy Spirit gives us the power to live above sin.
 

We are saved by grace and go on by grace.
 

Jesus leads the church and works through us to bring healing, freedom, and new life to the world.
 

God's kingdom will keep advancing until Christ returns.  Everything we do and say is to this end.
 

Jesus will physically return to earth to settle accounts with everyone.
 

We are hopelessly in love.
