Our Beliefs

We believe in a personal God, our Father, who made the heavens and the earth. Our Father God is perfect, all-powerful, all-knowing, and ​all-loving. He listens and responds to prayer, loves us unconditionally, and is the One to whom we give all the glory.
Jesus, our Savior and LORD, is God’s only Son. He came to live among us in order to show us by His life, teachings, and actions the kindness, goodness, and mercy of our Father. In His death on the cross, Jesus gave His own perfect, sinless life so that our sins may be forgiven and we may come to know the Father through Him. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life: and in relationship
​with Him we find eternal life.
​
After His resurrection, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, our Comforter and Guide, to indwell all believers. By the power of the Spirit at work in us, we come to know our Father more deeply in relationship, experience transformation in our lives, and hear His invitation to join in His work in Norristown and this world. We believe the Bible is our Father’s love letter to us – written by people of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit. In its words we meet our Father, hear Him speak to us, and find our lives and ministries transformed. These beliefs lead us to teach and preach Jesus and His Gospel, in the hope that all people will come to meet Him and to know His abundant life today.

Our Values


Picture
Faith – we believe all things are possible with God, so we choose to engage in God-sized tasks.
Bible-Centered Teaching – we know that God’s Word is our sole plumb line for all aspects of life, so we always lift up His Word first and foremost.
Serving – we realize Jesus gave His life for us, so we choose to give away this life for Him and others.
Whole People – we affirm that our Father seeks to heal every facet of our being, so we commit to engaging in life together by investing in the spiritual, emotional, physical, financial, and relational needs of others.

Knowing Jesus

Scripture is amazingly clear that our Father God chose you before the foundation of the heavens and earth to be His child, through the forgiveness of sins granted to each one of us through the blood of Jesus Christ (see Ephesians 1). He chose you, and He chooses you still. Perhaps more importantly, our Father God wants you to know Him. He gave the fullest revelation of His heart, His plans, His will, and His Kingdom in Jesus, His Son. He makes His heart known through every page of the Bible. And His Spirit lives within every Christian, that we might truly know our God!

Jesus said in John 10 that we can know His voice, hear Him when He calls, and live in absolute certainty that He calls our name and draws us to Himself. That’s what we mean by knowing Him – a close, deep, vibrant, growing relationship with a very real, very alive God! Whether you’ve never before met Jesus or have known Him for decades, He is ready to let you know Him even more. Our God is a Person with a personality, the ability to speak, and a real desire for relationship. Why not begin getting to know Him more by simply talking to Him, listening for Him to speak, opening His Word, and making intentional time to be with Him?

Join us on this journey together with our Savior and Healer. No one gets to know our God in isolation. Our God uses an entire community of faith to make Himself known!
