Here's a thumbnail of our beliefs:
We believe that Jesus Christ is the head of the Church, and that the Holy Spirit can speak directly to and can act through each member and congregation.
We believe in God the Father as revealed in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ through the current ministry of the Holy Spirit.
We believe in a free and simple way to salvation, but that is not necessarily easy or cheap. Our freedom in Christ is our opportunity to be the kind of person God intended us to be.
We believe that the human soul is eternal and our eternal destiny lies in the choices we make and in our participation in the building of the kingdom of God.
Congregationalists are classical Christians who hold to the idea that the local congregation of covenanted believers is the most authentic way to being Christ’s body in the world.
