We belong to God’s family only because of God’s Son, Jesus Christ. Christianity is not something we do but something Jesus did for us. He made us God’s children.

We believe our world belongs to God. God made this world good. But human beings want to live without God and turned their backs on Him and His plan for their lives.

We believe God did not give up on human beings that He had created. In fact, God the Father sent His Son, Jesus, to lead people back to their loving Father.

We believe God gives new life through Jesus Christ and empowers us to live this life by the activity of the Holy Spirit. In a world where people often confront pain, suffering, and problems, God wants us to show His world what this new life is.
