We believe in:

† God – the Creator of the universe

          † Christ – the incarnation of God on Earth

          † Holy Spirit – the presence of God in the world and in the believer

          † The Church – a universal company of Christ’s followers

          † Forgiveness of Sin – made possible by the crucifixion of Jesus

          † Life Everlasting – shown by the resurrection of Jesus

          † Bible – the inspired word of God

We recognize two Sacraments as described in the Bible:      

          Baptism and the Lord’s Supper or Communion

In Baptism, we acknowledge that we and our children belong to God.  The water of Baptism marks us with God’s signature, and cleanses us from sin.

The sacrament of Baptism is celebrated with infants, children, youth or adults, but is not “re-administered” to persons who have received baptism in other Christian churches.

The Lord’s Supper, or Communion, recalls how Jesus’ gave his life on a Cross to open the way to eternal life for those who live as his followers.

We celebrate “open Communion,” offering this sacrificial meal to all who are baptized Christians, regardless of denomination affiliation.
