We are a faithful, compassionate, growing community, committed to following Christ, drawn together by God’s love and truth as revealed in Jesus Christ and God’s word.
WE BELIEVE that true religion involves the immediate, inward, personal encounter with God-that is, rather than ritual and ceremony, is what we must experience to obtain salvation.
WE BELIEVE the each individual has worth, dignity, freedom and responsibility before God. (John 1:9)
WE BELIEVE that worship is a personal, positive act of seeking, rather than a performance- that communion is an inner spiritual experience rather than an outward observance.
WE BELIEVE that moral purity, integrity, honesty, simplicity and humility are essential to the Christian life.
WE BELIEVE in Christian love and good will as a way of life which makes hatred and violence impossible.
WE BELIEVE that Christ-like love and concern for suffering and unfortunate people must find expression in humanitarian service and social justice.
WE BELIEVE in the continuing revelation of the Holy Spirit of God, who grants us new openings, insights and revelations of spiritual truth, according to the scriptures.
