What We Believe

We believe...

God is, and he made the universe and all that is within it.

Men and women were created in God’s image, but humanity fell.  We are all sinners and broken, and we need rescuing.  Though we deserved judgement and justice, God had a different plan.

As a doting Father, with infinite love and compassion, God became one of us in Jesus.

Jesus then lived a perfect life (for us).  He died the most horrible death (for us).  He resurrected, conquering death.  He paid for our sins at infinite cost to himself.

For us, he made salvation easy.  We become children of God simply by trusting on Jesus’ work on our behalf.

This is the gospel, and there is no other message like it in the world.  Jesus saves us first, then he calls us to become the salt and light.  We do not earn his favor.

And he promises, as we partner with him in the redemption of the world, he will return.  In the end, those who trust in him will rise to eternal life.

This is the message Christians are to share in word and in deed to the ends of the earth.

For those who want the nitty-gritty, we believe the Bible is God’s authoritative word to us and our theology is in line with the Reformed tradition.
