What We Believe
Our teachings include:
- The Father, Son, and Spirit are one God, united in love for one another.
- Jesus Christ, as the Word made flesh, is fully God and fully human.
- Jesus accurately reveals the goodness and love of God, and reveals humanity as God intended us to be.
- As our Creator, Jesus represented all humanity, and all people benefit from His vicarious humanity: His life, death, resurrection and ascension. Jesus Christ atoned for all sin and suffered its full consequence.
- God has in Christ reconciled all humanity to Himself through His Son, Jesus (Colossians 1:20). Our human part is to recognize God’s love for us, to repent of personal sin, and to accept this free gift of salvation.
- The judgment of God against evil has been executed in Jesus Christ so that all might repent and receive forgiveness and, through the Holy Spirit, share in Christ’s resurrected, eternal life.
- People are exhorted to respond to this reconciliation and participate in the life for which we were all created.
- Jesus, as the nexus of divinity and humanity, has enabled humanity to participate in the life and love of the Trinity, which has always been God’s intent.
