Beliefs
We are, first and foremost, followers of Jesus.
We're engaged in the adventure of learning to follow Jesus daily. We value doing it together, as brothers and sisters in the family of God. 
An abbreviated statement of what we believe:
- We believe the Bible is the authoritative Word of God.
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension and personal return.
- We believe that only through faith in Jesus as our Savior can we be redeemed and reborn.
- We believe the Holy Spirit gives us power for ministry (service) and godly living.
- We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in Jesus Christ.

Where we come from:
Historically, we have our roots in four movements of the Christian Church, each bringing a unique and valuable emphasis to our beliefs and practice.
- the Anabaptists, or “Radical Reformers,” who believed that the church ought to be different from the world, that it was possible to follow Jesus daily, and that the Bible should guide all of life,
- the Pietists, who were desperate not to lose a warm, personal, authentic relationship with God in the midst of forms and traditions,
- the Wesleyan Holiness movement, who understood that God didn’t just change our position with Him, but wanted to radically change us to reflect the beauty of His holiness.
- the Evangelicals who stressed the necessity of a personal commitment to Jesus as Savior and Lord, and the importance of taking this message to others.
