What We Believe

WHY JESUS?

We believe in one, triune, creator God who made us to live in relationship with Him. We believe sin (or "missing the mark" of God's perfect and good will) threatens and breaks that relationship. We believe God sent his Son into the world to restore that relationship. We believe God himself became a man - Jesus of Nazareth, a builder from a backwater village in first century Palestine - to find us and rescue us back into relationship with Him. We believe that Jesus is the only way to a restored relationship with God and therefore the only hope for salvation. We believe and celebrate that Jesus is the rightful king of the universe, our homes, and our neighborhood - the one from whom all things come from, belong to, and exist for.

WHY CHURCH?

We live in a "spiritual, not religious" culture. But we believe that the Christian life cannot be lived alone and that we are all part of one body held together by our shared identity in the saving work and lordship of Jesus Christ. We believe that God calls us to gather together to praise Him, to grow together and live out his teaching, and to go out together to share His message of good news. We believe that the church should be on the front lines of showing the love of God to the world and our community.

WHY JAMESTOWN?

We believe God calls us to build relationships and seek the good of the community He has placed us in. We believe our church exists to advance God's kingdom in Jamestown township, West Michigan, and across the world. We are on a mission to spread the good news that JESUS LOVES JAMESTOWN and to make JAMESTOWN LOVE JESUS more and more. We believe this is a place you can call your church home.

OUR CREEDS AND CONFESSIONS

Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father, and will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
