What We Believe
When we look at the story of our own lives, we naturally ask, “Who am I? Why am I here? What happens after we die?” We’re looking for a hero, a cause to follow, a battle to win, and a happy ending to enjoy. We want to know what life is really all about.
God answers with His true story through the Bible, real people in real places and real situations. The Bible is where we discover who the real Hero is, how to win our battles, and have a “happy ever after,” if we choose to follow Him. Here’s a thumbnail sketch of God’s story that we wholeheartedly believe:
