What We Believe: A Snapshot

God’s Love and Grace
We believe in one God—Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer—who loves all people. God is revealed in Jesus Christ and present with us through the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ
We follow Jesus Christ, who lived, died, and rose again for our sake. Through him, we know God’s love, forgiveness, and hope. He shows us how to live with compassion, justice, and peace.

The Bible: Inspired and Living Word
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God—a unique and trustworthy witness to who God is and how God is at work in the world. It was written by people of faith, guided by the Holy Spirit, over many generations. We don’t read it as a rulebook or history textbook, but as a living story that invites us into relationship with God. As we read and interpret Scripture together—through study, prayer, and community—we seek to understand what it meant then, and what it means for us today. We trust that the same Spirit who inspired the writers helps us listen with open hearts and minds.

Worship and Sacraments
We worship God with reverence and joy. We celebrate two sacraments:

Baptism (marking our belonging to God and the Church)
Communion/Lord’s Supper (remembering Christ’s love and presence among us)

The Church
We are a part of the one holy, catholic (universal), and apostolic church. As Presbyterians, we are led by elders, and we make decisions together through prayer and conversation.

Mission and Justice
We are called to serve others, seek justice, and care for creation. We work locally and globally for peace, equity, and healing in the world.

Inclusion and Grace
All people are made in the image of God. We affirm diversity and strive to be a welcoming and affirming church.
