What We Believe

We believe that the source of human suffering comes from a broken connection between God and people. Because of this, people have become abusive, violent, destructive, and self-centered. Abuse is only one of many evidences that this backward spiral away from the Creator exists.

We believe that God is complete love and desires no harm to come to the people he* created. We believe that he is also incapable of evil.

We believe that God put on an “earth suit” and visited this planet almost 2,000 years ago. He became “God with us, ” Creator embedded in Creation. Jesus was his given name. He lived among us for about thirty-three years to accomplish the following mission:

. . . to share the heart and teachings of God with people;

. . . to eliminate the disease that causes human suffering (frequently referred to as “sin”). He did this by giving his life for the cause of freedom – freedom from the tyranny of this disease;

. . . to move beyond limitations and open the way for people to do the same (frequently referred to as the “resurrection”).

By being both Creator and Creation, he took on the role of a mediator between the two. He became a bridge for broken people to find restoration and connection with God.

We believe that God took the first steps to heal this broken connection. Through his teachings, example, and sacrifice, Christ revealed the path to restoration. It is through his mediator role between Creator and Creation that the wisdom needed to live in freedom is given.

We believe that healing is possible for spiritual and emotional damage. We realize that this process is neither simple nor quick. We believe that a lifetime committed to listening to God’s Spirit, meditating on sacred texts such as the Scriptures, and living in a way that honors our created purpose, help us to journey on the path that lead to freedom.

We believe the Spirit of God is our teacher, our comforter, our guide and our empowerer. We believe that we will one day be restored to the condition of our origins and rediscover the world as it was meant to be. A world where disease, abuse, exploitation, poverty, hunger, sorrow, and violence will be totally unknown. We believe that Christ makes this journey possible.

*God is not an anatomical male. God is Spirit – a unique being, who is complete and transcends gender, time, or space. God is balance. However, for the sake of language, which at this point does not have a pronoun for God, we use the pronoun “he” or “him” as a matter of simplification and one of familiarity for most faith traditions. Please do not let the limitations of language limit your connection with God.
