We believe the Church is the Living Body of Christ. We believe a person becomes a part of the Body by God's grace through salvation which includes turning away from a life apart from Christ, placing personal trust in Jesus as Savior and Lord, openly expressing this faith, and committing oneself to Christ through baptism. We believe in the promised return of Christ to earth to claim His own. We believe in the future Day of Judgment and the eternal existence of all people in a place of reward, heaven or hell, according to the life lived on earth. Core Values - People matter to God and to us.
People are more important than things.
Principles are God-given and enduring. The Church's View of People and Culture Christianity is relevant for every culture but is supra-cultural. There is no one human culture that is expressly Christian. All people have been uniquely created in the image of God and are inherently valuable to Him. All people possess the ability to experience and express the Spirit of God through their unique personality.
