The bible is our theology. Simple as that. The entire bible. The bible has been preserved for millennia as God’s word, our instruction book, in all matters of life. We honor it as such and place scripture in it’s entirety as above any personally or corporately held belief.
Have you been wounded by harsh, dogmatic, judgmental religion ? Have you experienced hypocritical behavior at the hands of those who bear the name of Jesus? So was Jesus! In fact, religion is the opposite of true Christianity. If you have been hurt by a church or church people, we understand and relate! Come, find peace in the true message of Jesus.
The Church is a “Family of Families” supporting each other in Christ and serving the community. Life is about what God can give through you to your community, about doing and being the light of Christ day and night in your everyday life. Helping a neighbor, sharing God’s blessings, spreading the words and message of Christ.
Chayim is Hebrew for lives, plural. We believe when the bible speaks of lives, it refers to our life here on Earth as well as life eternal in heaven. Both are equally important to God. And both lives are covered in depth in scripture! We seek balance between focusing on life eternal and life today.
Family is the first relationship God formed on this Earth at creation. The family is the core of any successful society. Whatever family structure you find yourself in today, single or married, it is your family. We honor the family structure by encouraging families to follow God’s order of family, to worship together, serve together, eat together. No division by age, gender or ability.
