what we believe

“Write down the vision, so that the message will be easy to read.”

[Habakkuk 2:2]

OUR MISSION

Inviting people in the heart of the Rust Belt to forget religion, find God and move toward a new possible

OUR CORE VALUES

We don’t want people to feel unrealistic religious expectations; we want people to feel passionate about following Jesus. When we let go of our own efforts, we see that, even though we could never earn or deserve it, He’s already made the way for us to experience a new possible.

I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.
– Jesus [John 14:6]

  • ONE TRUE GOD
    There is one true God, Creator of heaven and earth, who eternally exists as one substance in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. [Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; Mark 1:9-11; John 14:10, 16; James 2:19]

    THE BIBLE
    The Bible is inspired by God. It is truth without any mixture of error and is completely relevant to our daily lives. [Deuteronomy 4:1-2; Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter 1:25]

    HOLY SPIRIT
    The Holy Spirit assures us of our relationship with Christ, guides us into all truth, convicts people of their sin, comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ. [Genesis 1:2; Joel 2:28; Luke 4:1; 11:13; John 16:7-14; Acts 1:8; 2:1-4; Romans 8:9-11, 14-16, 26-27; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31; Ephesians 1:13-14]

    SIN & SALVATION
    All humanity, Christ excluded, is sinful by birth and action, which separates us from God. Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin. Only through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus and repentance from sin can your relationship with God be restored. Salvation is a gift from God; it cannot be earned through our own efforts. [John 3:16-18; Romans 3:23-25, 5:8-10; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 2; Philippians 2:12-13; 1 Peter 3:18; Hebrews 9:24-28]

    THE CHURCH
    The Church is a local community of baptized believers, committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands, and it seeks to bring the Gospel to the world. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ. [Matthew 16:18-19; 18:15-20; 28:18-20; Acts 2:41-47; 20:28; 1 Corinthians 9:13-14; 12; Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22; 1 Peter 5:1-4; Revelation 21:2-3]

    This is just a brief summary. We strongly encourage studying the Bible, listening to the Holy Spirit and learning from your leaders.
