ASIC BELIEFS
At the center of Mennonite teachings is the need to believe in Jesus Christ as the model for life, and as the One who died and rose from the dead so that people could live in union with God. We believe that the church should keep Christ's life and ministry alive in the world, just as though Christ was still living on earth. That is why we refer to the church as "the body of Christ."

Mennonites believe that the church is made of people whose sins have been forgiven and who choose to follow Christ's teachings. Mennonites believe that Christians should try to relate to each other and the world ina loving and forgiving way.

HE BIBLE IS CENTRAL
The church tries to live in obedience to the Word of God -- the Bible. Mennonites believe that God's spirit, or the "Holy Spirit", helps the community of believers understand that Word. The Life and teachings of Jesus as recorded in the Bible help in interpreting the "Old Testament" part of the Bible. "For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." (1 Cor 3:11)

EW LIFE IN CHRIST
Because we are human, we all sin. In history, God sent Jesus Christ to the world so that all those who believe in Him could receive the gift of forgiveness of sisn, and the promise of living forever with God. Taking part in a regular worship service enables Christians to respond to God with praise and thanks, and to live for Jesus throughout the week.
