We believe the Church is the Bride of Christ and is comprised of genuine followers of Christ in every age. The Church is also God’s primary instrument through which he is fulfilling his redemptive purposes in the earth. We believe the Church exists to worship and glorify God, to preach the gospel to all nations, and to display God’s love by ministering to the needs of those in our community and beyond. We also affirm the priesthood of all believers and the importance of every Christian being joined with and actively involved in a local community of the saints.
