About me:
This is what we believe:
GOD
- We describe God in three persons; the Trinity. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are commonly used to refer to the threefold nature of God.
- God is the only god.
God created everything that exists; both things that we know about, and things we don't know.
- God is the ruler of the universe.
- God is loving.
- We can experience God’s love and grace.
- Jesus was human. He lived as a man and died when he was crucified.
- Jesus is divine. He is the Son of God.
- God raised Jesus from the dead and that the risen Christ lives today. (Christ and messiah mean the same thing—God’s anointed.)
- Jesus is our Savior. In Christ we receive the fullness of life and forgiveness of sins.
- Jesus is our Lord and we are called to pattern our lives after his.
- The Holy Spirit is God with us.
- The Holy Spirit comforts us when we are in need and convicts us when we stray from God.
- The Holy Spirit reveals to us God’s will and empowers us to live obediently.
PEOPLE
- God created human beings in God’s image.
- Humans can choose to accept or reject a relationship with God.
- All humans need to be in relationship with God in order to be fully human.
THE CHURCH
- The church is the body of Christ. In other words, the church is Christ’s life and ministry in the world today.
- The mission of the church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
- The church is “the communion of saints,” a community made up of all past, present, and future disciples of Christ.
- The church is called to worship God and to support believers to grow to become more like Jesus every day.
THE BIBLE
- The Bible is God’s Word.
- The Bible is the primary authority for our faith and practice.
- Christians need to know and study the Old Testament and the New Testament (the Hebrew Scriptures and the Christian Scriptures).
THE KINGDOM OF GOD
- The kingdom or reign of God is both a present reality and future hope.
- Wherever people are doing what God desires, the kingdom of God is there.
- The characteristics of God's Kingdom are reconciliation, restoration, and healing in the name of Jesus Christ.
- The fulfillment of God's kingdom is both here and now and is still to come.
- The church is called to show the world what God's kingdom will be like and to also cooperate with God in helping to bring the kingdom to completion.
- The reign of God is both personal and social. Personally, we display the kingdom of God as our hearts and minds are transformed and we become more Christ-like. Socially, God's vision for the kingdom includes the restoration and transformation of all of creation.
BAPTISM
- God is the primary actor in baptism. We ask God present through the Holy Spirit and to bless the water that is to be used for baptism.
- Through baptism we are joined with the church and with Christians everywhere.
- Baptism is a symbol of new life and a sign of God's love and forgiveness of our sins.
- Persons of any age can be baptized.
- We baptize by sprinkling, immersion, or pouring.
- A person receives the sacrament of baptism only once in his or her life.
THE LORD'S SUPPER/COMMUNION/EUCHARIST
- God is present with us when we come to the Lord's Table.
- We ask God to make the gifts of bread and cup (grape juice) be for us Christ's body and blood.
- The Lord's Supper helps us remember the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and celebrates the unity of all the members of God's family.
- By sharing this meal, we give thanks for Christ's sacrifice and are spiritually nourished to go into the world in mission and ministry.
- We practice "open Communion," welcoming all who love Christ, repent of their sin, and seek to live in peace with one another.
- We use grape juice instead of wine so that even those who are in recovery may eat and drink at Christ's table.
