What we believe
God
We believe in one God, who exists in three distinct persons…the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each person of the Trinity is equally the one God in being, essence, character, power and eternal qualities. Jesus We believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Savior who came to earth in the flesh to reveal God to humans and to restore all of fallen humanity to a personal relationship with God. We believe Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary; he is both fully human and fully God. Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life and embodies the truth about God and the Truth of God. Jesus willingly died on the cross to demonstrate God’s love for sinful humans and to provide salvation for all humanity. His sacrifice in our place provides all humans the means to be reconnected with their loving Creator. We believe in the physical resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Jesus ascended into heaven, where he rules as our Lord and advocate. Jesus will return to earth in the future to establish God’s perfect peace and justice for all time. We believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and that those who believe in Him will be saved. The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is the change agent in the lives of Jesus’ followers, illuminating God’s word for understanding and application in the life of each. The Spirit transforms each follower into the image of Christ, and is actively working within the Christian community and world at large to bring about God’s plan of redemption for all people and all creation. |
The Church
We believe the Church is a spiritual organism made up of all those in a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, who are called to live in fellowship and worship together. We believe in the priesthood of all believers: everyone in relationship with Christ is gifted, empowered and called to serve within God’s mission to reach the world. The Church is God’s vehicle on earth to bring about God’s justice and mercy for all people. The Bible We believe the scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments are the inspired word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17) We believe the Holy Spirit guided and directed human authors to create God’s written means of communication with us, which reveals God’s love and plan to be in relationship with all of humanity. The Bible is God’s blueprint for living the Christian life and is our source for faith and practice. Baptism Baptism washes away our sin, is a way we experience God, and it unites us with the body of Christ on earth. It is an initiation into the body of Christ. We believe in infant baptism if the parents/guardians plan on upholding their commitment to raise the child in a Christian family. Infant baptism is the beginning of a journey not the end of it. We believe that baptism is only made effective through conversion and the uniting with the Holy Spirit. Communion Through the Lord’s Supper we as body of Christ come into the presence of God. It is seen as a foretaste of heaven it is an anticipation of the participation in the heavenly feast. The Holy Spirit makes Christ really present in communion. This is not a meal for only established believers, Wesley saw this as a way for people be joined into Christian faith. Those who truly repent and believe in Jesus Christ intent on living a new life are allowed to participate. |
