WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe in the full authority of Scripture as the inspired Word of God. We believe that from Genesis to Revelation, His Word tells us the wonderful story of God’s love for the world and His redemptive plan for all creation.

We believe that His story calls His church to be His central witness to the world, and we seek to be the church the Bible calls us to be. Because of this, we are a church that faithfully demonstrates and proclaims the love of God to our neighbors near and far. We practice the centrality of worship, the responsibility of discipleship, and the command to reach out to others with the love and truth of God.

We believe that as the church of Jesus Christ we should represent Him well through truth, love, mercy, compassion, generosity, and service to others. As a member of the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA), we fully affirm their statement of faith.
