Values and Beliefs

Our Pastor

We are followers of Jesus:
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is our savior, guide, example and friend. We read of His life in the Holy Bible (the Book that guides our life), pray in His name to the Father, and experience His touch in our hearts. We believe in Jesus!

We will speak the truth:
Christians are supposed to be honest, and we believe in being honest people and speaking the truth in a loving way. It is only the truth that lasts, only the truth that helps, and only by speaking the truth does real communication between people happen. We will speak the truth!

We will practice Christian love:
For us love is not just a feeling, it is an action. We define love as the willingness to take action in the best spiritual interests of another. That kind of love is shown in extending help, showing concern, being forgiving, and acting in ways that further God’s plan and purposes in the world. In every area of life we will ask ourselves, “What is the loving thing to do?” We will practice love!

We are a family:
We do not come together for only a program or event. We join the church to respond to Christ’s command, and we become part of a new family. In all families there are things that family members do for each other. They help one another, they care about one another, and they participate in each other’s lives. We will be family to each other!

We are people of positive faith & spirit:
The Holy Spirit lives in every Christian. That is something that happens through placing faith in Jesus Christ. After that initial exciting moment it is easy to go back to seeing life in discouraging terms. We will be people that choose to look at life as full of possibilities because of Jesus. Each problem can be something that God can use to enlarge our faith and help us to make a difference in the world. Discouragements, problems and challenges are all part of life and we will use faith in Christ to help us overcome those seasons of distress. We will be people with a positive spirit!
