Beliefs

We Believe God is still speaking.
God didn’t stop speaking at the end of the Bible.
God speaks through other people, nature, music, art, science, and the Bible.

We have the freedom and responsibility to engage the Bible with our experiences, questions and ideas.
Christ is the head of our church.
