Our Primary Biblical Doctrines That Unite Us

We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again;
He ascended into heaven, He is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy universal Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

Since the church was birthed, there has been an effort to consolidate our overall unified understanding of the essentials of the Christian Faith. The Apostle’s creed is the simplest Biblically based confession that has consistently united the body of Christ since the 4th century.

Our shared covenant

• Together, we serve as the heart and hands of Jesus Christ in our valley.
• Together, we live in submission to Christ in unity as one body.
• Together, we pray with Christ for “His Kingdom to come, His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven” and live to fulfill that prayer.
• Together, we live by faith.
