We believe church isn’t a gathering of perfect people, but a family of imperfect people invited into God’s grace. We are committed to meeting people right where they are—without judgment, with compassion, and with open arms—because that’s how Christ meets us. Together, we walk the journey of faith, encouraging one another to grow, learn, and be transformed by God’s Word and Spirit. And in every step, we seek to share the love of Jesus in real, practical ways so that lives are changed, relationships are strengthened, and hope for tomorrow shines brighter.

Our Beliefs

Curious About What We Believe? Start Here.
We believe in God as the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 
  • God the Father/Creator, who made heaven, earth, and all things.
  • God the Son, Jesus Christ, who saves us and all creation through his life, death, and resurrection from the power of sin and death.
  • God the Holy Spirit, who comforts, sustains, guides, and empowers us to participate in God’s life and mission in the world. 
We believe God created every person whom God created in God’s divine image as a beloved child, with inherent worth and dignity.

We believe the Bible reveals the Word of God, where there is authority in matters of faith and practice. The Bible is where we find the story of God’s mighty acts of salvation in creation, with people, and ultimately through Jesus Christ. The Bible is our primary source for understanding God's will and nature, interpretating together with the Holy Spirit and together as a community of faith. 

We hold that baptism is a special means of grace from God, known as a sacrament. Baptism is an outward sign of inward grace, initiation into the church, and is open to all ages. If you have questions about baptism, please call our church office 419-893-8761 to be connected to one of our pastors.

We hold that communion is a special means of grace from God, known as a sacrament. We practice an open table, which means that you are not required to be a member of our church or any church to receive communion. We believe that the real presence of Christ is with the physical elements, which are grape juice and gluten-free bread.
