The Source

Beliefs are only as good as the source from which they are formed. There are an infinite number of sources vying for our worldviews, desiring to shape how we live our lives. We believe that the history of man has consistently and continuously demonstrated that truth does not originate from us, nor are we capable of removing our ambitions and emotions from our messaging. We also recognize that there is a code that has been written into all of our hearts that deals with justice, love and eternal things. This leads us to needing a source for truth about the things that are hardwired into our hearts without the commentary of our personal, cultural and emotional bents.

So, we believe that…
The Bible is the ultimate source of authority for what we believe and how we live our lives. We believe it is the inspired written record of God’s plan of redemption for humanity and without error. Though opinions and values change, the Bible remains the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds and religious opinions should be tried.

2 Timothy 3:16-17
