SOUL FREEDOM

We believe in love. We believe in the priesthood of all believers. We affirm the freedom and responsibility of every person to relate directly to God without the imposition of creed or the control of clergy or government. We believe in diversity and oppose racism, sexism, violence and hatred. We are committed to protecting and preserving the earth and the environment. We are filled with joy and celebrate the freedom of Christianity.

BIBLE FREEDOM

We believe in the authority of Scripture. We believe the Bible, under the Lordship of Christ, is central to the life of the individual and the church. We affirm the freedom and right of every Christian to interpret and apply scripture under the leadership of the Holy Spirit.

CHURCH FREEDOM

We believe in the autonomy of our local church. We believe this church is free, under the Lordship of Christ, to determine our membership and leadership, to order our worship and work, to ordain whomever we perceive as gifted for ministry, and to participate as we deem appropriate in the larger Body of Christ.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

We believe in freedom of religion, freedom for religion, and freedom from religion. We support the separation of church and state.
