statement of faith

Right relationship to God and other people is at the core of faith. We see the perfect model of relationship in the three persons of the Trinity:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Unfortunately, people have been afflicted by sin since the fall in the garden of Eden, and cannot live in right relationship. We needed the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, both fully human and fully divine, who lived a sinless life and rose from the grave having, conquered death on the cross. Thanks to this sacrifice, we can accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, receiving the gift of grace, which could never be earned.

A sincere decision to become a disciple of Jesus brings about salvation that will be reflected in an ongoing process of sanctification, as believers become more like Christ. Active engagement with the divinely inspired words we find in scripture is essential for this process of sanctification, as these words from God serve as a plum line that guides our understanding of who God is and how we should live. Guidance from the Holy Spirit through prayer and actively taking part in a healthy church community are also indispensable for a maturing believer. When we are actively living out a faith relationship with God, and we allow that relationship to mold our relationships with others, it will have an impact on every aspect of our lives.
