What We Believe
We are a Christian church. As such, there are certain things we believe.
There is only one God and he created the universe
He exists as a triune (3-in-1, Father-Son-Holy Spirit) being
He has given us his word, the Bible, and we are to follow it
We can only have a relationship to God through the sacrifice of Jesus
There is a literal Heaven and a literal Hell
Jesus is the only way to Heaven
We as Christians have an obligation to help those in need
We are expected to not only learn what the Bible says, but do what it says
We are to spread the love and message of Jesus to everyone
Our church was put here to minister to those in our community
Our Mission
Love, Learn, Live.
Our logo has been taken from the logo of the United Brethren In Christ logo. We use the cross to represent love because of the love that Christ showed for us when he died for us. The Bible says that this is the kind of self sacrificing love that we should have for one another. We use the flame of the Holy Spirit to represent learning because Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would guide us into all truth. We use the 2 people clasping arms to represent living out our faith in front of others in an effort to tell them about Jesus.
This also gives us a picture of what it looks like to grow as a Christian in discipleship. We are drawn to God by the LOVE of Jesus, we then begin to LEARN from the Bible and from fellow believers as the Holy Spirit guides us into all truth, and as we mature we LIVE out that faith in acts of kindness, sharing our faith with others, and bringing the unchurched into the fellowship so the process can take place over and over.
We believe this model is Biblical and easy to relate to people. If you want to know what our church’s mission is AND our method of discipleship, it’s simple. 3 words. Love, Learn, Live.
