We believe the best possible life here on earth is lived out by walking close to God, following Christ whereever his adventure takes you, and listening to and obeying the still and powerful voice of the Holy Spirit.
We believe that there is only one God, and he is the God that is described in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. We belive that the Bible is the holy, perfect, inspired Word of God and that its pages contain the answers to life's deepest needs. We believe that God sent his son Jesus Christ to the earth to live a perfect life and die on the cross, paying the price sin in the world. We believe that humans are self-centererd at their core, and no one will ever be able to earn their way into Heaven based on what they do here on earth. We believe in the existence of Heaven and the existence of Hell. We believe that any human can enter into a relationship with God by believing in Jesus, asking his forgiveness, and turning control of their life over to Him. We believe that Jesus welcomes a person into relationship wherever they are without that person having to clean up their act first.
We believe that once that relationship is started, the Holy Spirit enters into a person, and the never-ending task of the Holy Spirit is conforming that person into the likeness of Christ. The person is constanty transformed into a person of integrity, humility, strength, courage, and love, just as we saw lived out in Christ's life here on earth. We believe that God created his church (the group of people that have relationship with him) to help and strengthen each other, and to serve their community. We believe that Jesus never gives up on you and he keeps working on you until your life is a perfect reflection of his love.
