Beliefs
-
We acknowledge the authority of One God, recognize Jesus Christ, our crucified and risen Lord, as sole head of the Church, and look to the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.
-
In Jesus Christ, God has come not to save us from the world but to renew and redeem the whole creation.
-
We are a Bible-based church believing that the Bible is the faith-story of God's people. We do NOT believe in a “literal interpretation” of scripture since this generally distorts the original intention of the text by interpreting it through 21st century culture and language. When read with faith, humility, and in light of its historical context, the Bible contains eternal truth as to the nature and will of God, and is thus our inspiration and direction for ministry.
-
The Holy Spirit can work in and through individuals, giving insight and ministry for the good of all. EVERYONE has direct access to God through personal prayer and meditation.
-
We are a non-doctrinal church. Adherence to doctrine is NOT the basis of church membership. Individuals are free to believe and act in doctrinal matters in accordance with their insight and perception.
