what we believe :

We believe that we have turned away from the God

     In doing so, we have wounded ourselves and others.

Yet we believe that God sent Jesus Christ to forgive us

     In Jesus, God stands ready to receive us.

We further believe that God sent the Holy Spirit that we might receive the power to live new lives

     The Spirit calls us into Christ's church, the community of promise, where we are nourished, guided, and strengthened.

We believe that the kingdom of God is both a present and future reality

     Our charge — through our acts and words — is to make the kingdom known to the world, that all may choose to believe and receive God's blessings.
