... not fitting in by being
less experienced in church settings.
Our purpose is growing in the Truth.
As such, the goal is not appearing "churchy", looking like you know what you're doing, or giving the impression of knowledge.

Encouragements
- Visit a few times and if this church is the best place for you to grow, keep coming
- Please bear with what we lack as we get started together. What we will have will be wonderful if God is in it.
We Believe
- God created the heavens and the earth, and man (and so to live optimally, we must do so in alignment with how we're designed)
- Sin entered the world through man, and now we live in a fallen world (which explains all of the bad in it: illness, hate, selfishness, war, death, etc.)
- God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth to save us from Sin (Sin being everything wrong with us, individually, and as mankind)
- The Atonement, Jesus's sacrificial death on the cross and resurrection enables us to be reconciled to God – that we may be the righteousness of God in Jesus
- One must be born from above to see the Kingdom of God (and until then neither Jesus nor the Bible will be understandable)
- God wants all to be saved, but some will be condemned for choosing darkness over light (and not because they didn't follow some administrative process or simply didn't go to church enough)
- Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead. Until then His Church should exist to do His will (and for no other purpose, whether or not ostensibly beneficial, expedient, or attractive)
