In unbounded love, God created… and we enjoyed God’s friendship in paradise…
At the beginning, God gave us freedom to choose to love God or to exclude God from our lives. We chose not to return God’s love. We broke the relationship.
In limitless love, God pursues us, even giving God’s self in the form of the Eternal Son, Jesus Christ, so that our relationship with God, and all creation, might be restored.
All who now trust and follow Jesus Christ are part of the in-breaking reign of God. Jesus said “Behold I am making all things new.” Following Christ’s lead seen in the scriptures, we join him in his mission. We are helping people into the Light who is Jesus, and we are working for the good of all people and the world – all the while looking for Christ’s return, when he in love will rule the universe, and put all thinks to rights. As it was in the beginning, so it shall be in the end.
We are not perfect, but, accepting Christ’s love and forgiveness, we seek to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love all people as we love ourselves. Will you join us on the journey?
We believe, “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.” That is to say, there is a core set of common beliefs where all Christians are in unity (see below). Then, as we move to less essential beliefs, there are many variations on the Christian theme seen across many different individuals and denominations. We believe in diversity regarding the non-core ideas within our faith tradition. But, most of all we wish live into love for one another as Christ taught and lived.
