What We Believe
The most interesting thing about us is not us, but God—the face of God revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.
Our beliefs are best described as humble orthodoxy. We trust the oldest creeds. We honor the tradition. And we remain open to learning something new.
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
Who, for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father [and the Son]; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.
And we believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Church of God
We’re non-non-denominational — meaning we are not against traditions. We grieve and resist the divisions. We honor the past even as we repent. And, practically, we deliberately forge connection across denominational lines in our community.
We’re happy to be part of a bigger family called Church of God, headquartered in Anderson, Indiana. There are probably 15 or so different groups with the same name; we’re connected to one of those.
The Church of God is a movement of unity and holiness that developed after the Civil War, in a deeply divided nation. Motivated by Jesus, the founders of our movement crossed racial, denominational, and gender divides. Read more about them here.
We are also part of an international, ecumenical church renewal movement called Heartedge, developing churches around compassion, commerce, culture, and congregation. You can read more about them here.
