What We Believe

Our roots are found in the Protestant tradition, even though people with a Catholic or no church background will find that they enjoy the style of Real Life. 

We are part of the emerging church movement which means that we are open to new ways of thinking about our faith especially as it pertains to our calling in the world.

We believe that people have an inherent sin problem which interrupts our relationship with God and interferes with what God wants to do in the world. Through the death of Jesus Christ we can come to know and experience God and become a part of his plan for the world. In order to be a part of his agenda, we must renounce our sin, invite his presence into our hearts, and strive to follow him in obedience according to the Bible and the Holy Spirit.

We are a community church in our attitude, but we feel fortunate to be a part of the Church of the Nazarene, a family of some 5000 churches around the world. This membership provides a sense of accountability theologically and financially which is important these days.

At the same time, we realize we are but one of many groups in Gods great Kingdom
