Statement of Purpose
We accept you because you believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and also because you are willing to share his love by caring for and loving your fellow man. “By this shall all men know you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35)
We encourage our members to work together to share God’s love through his gospel, as revealed in the Bible. “This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” (1 John 4:9-11)
Statement of Belief
We believe in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We believe in the right and ability of every believer to interpret their own relationship with God through His written word in the Bible and prayer.
This right and ability gives every believer complete access to Communion in our fellowship as we believe each person’s relationship with Christ is greatly served by being an active member of a fellowship of believers who can strengthen and encourage each other through prayer and studying God’s holy word together.
Each Christian is part of the priesthood of believers and expected to interpret the divinely inspired and infallible word of God as led by the Holy Spirit. (Mark 8:29, Luke 9:20, Ephesians 4:5, Hebrews 10:25, 1 Peter 2:9, 2 Timothy 3:16-17) We support each other in this study through shared Bible study times in Sunday School, midweek and Sunday morning services.
