WE BELIEVE THAT
every person was created for friendship with God.
We were created in His image and likeness. We were created to know, love, and serve God.
BUT IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN
we were captured by sin.
We distrusted God's goodness.
OUR SIN HAD DESTRUCTIVE CONSEQUENCES:
we lost our relationship with God.
Sin and evil entered the world.
BUT EVIL DID NOT WIN.
God sent His only Son into the world.
His name is Jesus.
BY HIS DEATH ON A CROSS
Jesus rescued us.
He defeated sin and death when He rose from the grave. He repaired the brokenness.
AND NOW HE'S INVITING US TO ACCEPT HIS GIFT OF SALVATION:
will we respond to His invitation to live in the Resurrection?
Will we embrace His mercy, turn from our sin, and become who God made us to be?

Our Creed
THE NICENE CREED
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
