Who We Are
We are a gathering of unique people with good and bad qualities, with strengths and weaknesses, insights and questions, creativity and tradition. The contrast could go on but that still wouldn't answer who we are because we do not derive our identity solely around what we do. What we do is born out of what we believe.

The best way to explain what we believe is to look to the Bible. When Jesus asks a young man to sum up the message of God he responded,
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.
Luke 10:27 (English Standard Version)
The Bible records Jesus agreeing whole-heartedly. In fact the record continues with a story that Jesus told to further illustrated how to live this way. As church we therefore believe our purpose for gathering together is to better love God and better love those who we meet and interact with on a regular basis on Sunday and on every other day of the week.
We know that there are lots of people who have interpreted Jesus' message imperfectly and demonstrated a notable lack of love towards one another. Unfortunately many of those people are from churches and claim to live for Jesus. Yet it doesn't deter our belief or action because we are all imperfect and so we do the best we can with God's help and approach every situation with as much humility as we know how. We hope that you will appreciate our humanity and belief as we try to demonstrate God's perfect love to everyone who is willing to receive it.
