Anabaptist Beliefs

Because God demonstrated love for us through the gift of Jesus Christ and the promise of eternal life:

We believe that faith begins with a decision to turn from sin to new life in Christ.
We believe that it is reasonable to follow Christ daily, totally, in life.
We believe that it is practical to obey the Sermon on the Mount and the whole New Testament literally, honestly and sacrificially.
We believe that it is thinkable to practice reconciling love amid human conflicts and warfare.
We believe that it is possible to confess Jesus as Lord above all nationalism, racism or materialism.
We believe that it is feasible to build a voluntary, disciples’ church of sisters and brothers who are mutually committed to each other in Christ.
When these beliefs are maintained by the boundaries of Christian community, they destroy false boundaries – leaping generational gaps, bridging theological gulfs, linking East with West, right to left, red with brown and yellow and black and white.
