TENETS OF FAITH

• We believe in one God who is love. We believe that God is generous and benevolent and gave existence to all that is. (Ephesians 4:6; I John 4:8; I Corinthians 8:6)
• We believe God created humanity out of love to share God’s love with. That God invites humanity to participate with God guiding and shaping the ongoing expansion of creation. That God gave humanity the ability to choose whether or not we will join with God in the process or if we will live in a way that is counter to the design for us. (Genesis 1:11-12; Genesis 1:26-28; Genesis 2:15-17)
• We believe that the original word of God is creation and that God gave us the text of the scripture to provide hope, peace, comfort, and wisdom as we navigate this life and what it means to be human beings who have been made in the image of God. (Genesis 1; Genesis 2:7; Romans 1:20; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)
• We believe that God gifted humanity God’s self in the form of Jesus to teach us how to live. To show us what it means to have life to the fullest. To set us free from sin and death that we may have nothing that separates us from our creator and his purposes for our lives. (John 1:14; John 10:10; John 3:16; Mark 16:15-16; Acts 2:38; Romans 8:38-39)
• We believe the world is a big beautiful place that God created for us to experience, enjoy, take care of, to discover that Gods presence saturates all of it and to help others do the same. (Ephesians 4:6; Matthew 28:19-20)
