We believe that the heavens and earth were called by the Creator's word from non-existence into existence and that that same Word became flesh and dwelt among us in the person of Jesus of Nazareth; the promised Christ and agent of our reconciliation with God whom he taught was a loving father.

We believe that each person is created in the image of God and therefore merits consideration as a person of infinite dignity and worth and that our highest destiny is to know and worship God.  This destiny is made possible by the grace of Christ received through repentance and salvation.

We believe that salvation is the restoration of relationship with God and that this is necessary because estrangement is the result of sin; an enslavement to self.  This restoration is made possible through the gift of forgiveness and the infusion of a new nature received through confession and filling of God's Holy Spirit.

We believe that the Holy Spirit, the indwelling presence of God, leads believers into the Church; the messianic community visibly expressed through local congregations, organized in various modes and scattered throughout the world.  All members of the church are privileged by the Spirit to share in the ministry and mission of Christ and proclaim in word and deed the values of God's kingdom until Christ returns.
