Jesus once said, “Follow me,” and that’s what we’re trying to do. We like to think of our church as a group of people on a journey with Jesus. Using this metaphor we believe:
- “Journey” assumes a starting point and a destination. You can join the journey from anywhere but to journey you have to move toward your destination. Our destination is what the Bible calls the “Kingdom of God,” and we strive to participate in it both now and eternally.
- God is the leader on this journey. He invites us to walk with Him through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus and leads us every step of the way by the Holy Spirit.
- The Bible is our travel guide. More than anything, it teaches us who God is so we can know Him and by knowing Him, trust Him to lead us.
- The journey of following Jesus isn’t easy so we walk together. Everyone needs help to walk faithfully. No one has it all figured out and no one has it all together. Encouraging one another is one of the primary purposes of the church.
- There is always room for more travel partners so we are continually thinking of ways to invite new people to join the journey.
We hope this snapshot helps you to better understand some of our most basic beliefs as a church. Please feel free to contact our pastor, Mike O'Shea, for more detailed information.
