Our denomination, helps us articulate our theology. We believe that God created all that exists and there is nothing that exists without God's hand.  God is one in three persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three persons are of one essence, present in and through and of all things.  We believe that God made himself small and entered creation as an infant child. He grew and lived among God’s people.  We believe that Jesus Christ was truly man and truly God at the same time.  We believe that Jesus had much to teach us and we can learn about this by reading and studying the scriptures. We believe that Jesus Christ took on our sins and died at the hands of humanity for the sake of our salvation. We believe that Christ rose after three days from death and was resurrected by the power of the Holy Spirit to join the Father, leaving the Holy Spirit to lead and guide and move our conscious.  We believe that on our own actions and behavior we can not earn salvation or even behave as Jesus taught, but by the gift of faith we are empowered to live in community with one another, love as we have been loved, and care for all of creation.
