As a Christian Church seeking to look and act like Jesus in our world, we align ourselves theologically with the historic body of Christ. As such, together with the church today and the saints gone before we adhere to the Nicene Creed.

We avoid labels, but if we had to describe ourselves theologically, we would be evangelical (but not dogmatic), charismatic (but not pentecostal), and missional (but not liberal). At the end of the day, we see ourselves as people who simply love and follow Jesus!

We are committed to loving God and one another, as expressed in the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:34-40).

Additionally, in response to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) we align ourselves with the Lausanne Covenant.

 

Nicene Creed (Modern Version)

We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
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.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father [and the Son].
With the Father and the Son
he is worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic** and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.

AMEN.

*the Kingdom of God is now (breaking into the present) and not-yet (still to come in its full reality)
**that is, the true Christian church of all times and all places
