Our Beliefs

We believe:

• God, who is one, is revealed in three distinct persons: the Almighty Creator, maker of heaven and earth, Jesus Christ who brings us salvation through faith, and the Holy Spirit who guides us, teaches us, and comforts us.
• In God's grace for all people
  • Central to our understanding of Christian faith and life is grace. It is so important that we have a three-fold way of talking about it!
  • First, prevenient grace… or God’s active presence in our lives. We believe that before we even know who God is, God seeks us!
  • Second, justifying grace… or the work of forgiveness and restoration in our lives. God renews us through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus… it’s God’s work, not ours.
  • Finally, sanctifying grace… or the ongoing transformation of our lives. We are called to grow more like Jesus every day of our life. God pours grace into us to help us respond with love and compassion every single day
• That the church is the body of Christ, with Jesus Christ as the Head. A vibrant church preaches and studies from the Bible, prays for one another and the world, and serves as ambassadors of Jesus Christ as they speak up for the voiceless among us.
• We believe the role of the church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. John Wesley and the early Methodists placed primary emphasis on Christian living, on putting faith and love into action.
