WE EXIST TO HELP PEOPLE
FIND & FOLLOW JESUS.
We belong to a network of churches in a denomination called the Mennonite Brethren. "MBs" are Christians who have roots in the "anabaptist" movement during the Reformation in the 1500s. We have a history of striving to live in a way that aligns with what the Bible says.
What does it mean to be "Anabaptist Christians"?
- Jesus is the center of our faith.
- The Scriptures are our guide to all matters of faith and life.
- Community is the center of our lives.
- Reconciliation is the center of our work.
- Evangelism is the center of our mission.
Some basics are listed below. If you'd like to dig a little deeper, check out our MB Confession of Faith.
Core Beliefs
God
We believe in one God, who exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, bringing life, redemption, and unity to all creation.
The Revelation of God
God reveals Himself through creation, Scripture, and ultimately through Jesus Christ; the Bible is our authoritative guide for faith and life.
Nature of the Church
The church is a community called by God, empowered by the Spirit to worship, fellowship, and serve together.
Baptism
Baptism signifies a believer's new life in Christ and their commitment to the church community.
Salvation by Grace
Through Jesus Christ's life, death, and resurrection, God frees us from sin and promises eternal life.
Peace
In Christ, we are called to pursue peace, love our enemies, and work toward justice and reconciliation.
Mission of the Church
The church's mission is to make disciples, share the good news, and demonstrate God's love and compassion.
The Christ's Final Triumph
We believe Jesus Christ will return to defeat evil, bring judgment, and unite believers to reign with God forever.
