“Life with Jesus is Best!”
This statement is born out of our 6 Core Beliefs. Then it becomes our seventh and our driving force of all we do. Causing us to reach up in worship, out for impact, and inward for growth.

God is expressed in three persons: (Deut. 6:4; Matt 28:19; 1 John 5:6-10; 2 Cor 13:14)
● Father (Creator)
● Jesus the Son (Savior)
● Holy Spirit (Indweller)

The truth about God is found in the Bible as contained in the Old and New Testaments. There we find who God is, how we relate to God, each other, and the world in which we live. (2 Pet. 1:20-21; 2 Tim 3:15-17; Heb 4:12)
-
Humans are created in the image of God as eternal beings to have a relationship with God now and into eternity. Ultimately we will exist with God (Heaven) or without God (Hell). One day Jesus Christ will return victoriously to earth. (Gen 1:27; Rev 20:15; 1 Cor 15:20-23; John 5:24-29)

Humanity is scarred by sin, separating us from God. Therefore all humanity is in need of a Savior, One who can forgive their sins, transform their hearts, and reunite them with their Heavenly Father. Jesus, the Son of God, through His life, death, and resurrection, became that One and Only Savior. A person enters a relationship with God through confession, repentance, and a trusting belief in Jesus Christ. Then they receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Rom 3:23; 1 Cor 15:20-23; John 3:16; Rom 10:9-10; Acts 2:38)
Through a relationship with Jesus Christ we are…
Adopted into God’s Family and given the gift of the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:5, John 14:15-31, Rom 8:9-10)
United into a community where we learn to live and love like Jesus (The Church) (Eph 2:19; Rom 12:5)
Called to a purpose greater than ourselves (John 14:12; Phil 2:12-13; 2 Tim 1:9)
