WE BELIEVE
We believe in one God who exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God created the universe and continues to sustain it. God’s eternal purpose is to form a people who will live for His glory forever. God alone is worthy of our worship.
We believe that God entered the world in the person of His one and only Son, Jesus Christ. Because humanity turned away from God through disobedience, Jesus came to restore our relationship with Him. Jesus taught and demonstrated the values of God’s kingdom. He lived a perfect, sinless life and gave His life on the cross, making forgiveness and new life with God possible. He rose from the dead, defeating the power of sin and death, and now invites us to live in obedience to God’s will.
We believe that the Holy Spirit is at work in the world, inviting all people to be reconciled to God the Father through a relationship with Jesus Christ and to become part of the global family of faith. Those who believe publicly confess their faith, are baptized, and take part in the Lord’s Supper. Empowered by the Holy Spirit and guided by the Bible, the church seeks to follow Christ faithfully and to invite others to experience this new life.
As Christians, we look forward with hope to the day when Jesus will return and all things will be brought under God’s eternal and loving rule.
THE MENNONITE BRETHREN CONFESSION OF FAITH
The MB church emphasizes the centrality of biblical authority, articulating confessions of faith in order to connect scriptural teaching with contemporary discipleship.
The MB Confession of Faith describes how the MB church interprets the Bible for our context and is an authoritative guide for biblical interpretation, theological identity and ethical practice. The Bible is our written authority. As Anabaptists, we believe authoritative interpretation of the Bible is the result of corporate reflection under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The MB Confession of Faith is the result of such a process.
