We believe that God is imminent and active in the
world - in other words, God's on a mission! Our part is to notice where God is
busy, in our lives, in our neighborhood, and join in. We're always looking for
partners - people who know things we don't, people who are willing to teach
us. Maybe you're one of those people?
We believe God intends for life to be full - of
joy, of wonder, of passion - and we try to live that way. So you'll find us
singing and dancing when blessing comes. You'll also find us energetic and
curious when discovery comes. And you'll find us compassionate, kind, and sturdy
when trouble comes.
We believe that Jesus is God's annointed One, and
through him we have seen that love is the fundamental nature of God. But we have
also seen in Jesus what God intends for human life to be, and we are trying to
be followers in the Way he walked. We believe the Bible is the unique and
authoritative witness to what God has been doing in the world and presents the
only clear picture we have of Jesus and his teaching. We take our Bible
seriously as a guide to our life here, as children of God. An instruction book,
if you will, about living as if God was in charge of things. What a radical
idea!
We believe that God is present with us now in the
Holy Spirit, and that we hear the Spirit most clearly when we work and pray and
worship together in community. Takes more effort to stay together - with 9
people in a room, you'll always have 10 opinions! But we are convinced that the
Holy Spirit is the glue which holds us together, and we know we can do far more,
in this web of connection we call the church, than we could ever do alone. Won't
you join us? |
