WHAT WE BELIEVE MODERN MUSIC AND TIMELESS TEACHING THROUGH SCRIPTURE Our Statement of Faith While there are diverse ideas, backgrounds, and cultures within our church, we focus on the basics of the Christian faith to find agreement. Our beliefs can be summed up in the ancient creeds of the church, most clearly the Nicene Creed, established early in the 4th century AD. The creeds are not exhaustive, nor are they meant to be; rather they are a summary of the essentials of the Christian faith, as they have been passed down faithfully through the generations. Outside of these, we follow the motto: “In essentials, unity; in matters of opinions, liberty; in all things, love.”
