What We Believe
A faith rooted in Scripture and centered on Jesus
As a network, we believe and practice a faith that finds its source in the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ. These convictions shape how we understand God, life, relationships, leadership, the Church, and eternity.
Who Is God
- God is beyond our ability to imagine.
- Jesus Christ is God in human form.
- Through His Holy Spirit, God indwells and guides Christ's followers.
How Do I Find God
- People are important to God.
- God's forgiveness through Jesus is the only way to have a relationship with God.
- Obedience and trust are how we grow in our relationship with God.
What Is Life About
- We are most fulfilled when we are closest to God.
- The Bible is God's perfect manual for the best life.
- Nothing in reality just happens; God made and guides it all.
- God's people serve others, just like Jesus did.
What Happens After Death
- God allows evil to provide us with a choice of trust. God can bring good out of evil events, and God promises victory over evil to those who choose Him.
- Heaven and Hell are real places. Death is a beginning, not the end.
Marriage and Family
- We understand the Bible to teach that marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman.
