our vision

In a divided world, we are connecting different
people to a unifying God.

our beliefs are based on what the Bible says, plain and simple.

We teach from the Bible, we live by the Bible and we love because of the Bible.

• We believe the Bible is God’s message to us. So we seek to understand and obey its truth.

  We believe there is one God who is three persons. So we yearn to know Him in all of His complexity and beauty.

• We believe Jesus is fully God and fully human. So we rejoice that Christ can be a bridge between us and God.

• We believe people, throughout history, have sinned against God. So we are deeply aware that we too are marked by willful disobedience.

• We believe God extends forgiveness to us through Christ. So we repent and rejoice in our forgiveness.

• We believe God offers freedom from sin’s grasp. So we live lives that are pleasing to God.

• We believe followers of Jesus must be empowered by the Holy Spirit. So we expect supernatural power in our daily lives.

• We believe that God can heal both the body and the heart. So we pray with faith and hope.

• We believe a mark of surrender to the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues. So we pray that God would grant us this supernatural gift.

• We believe in the Church. So we live in this community of faith, inviting others to join us.

• We believe God gives leaders as gifts to His Church. So we serve those whom the Lord entrusts to us.

• We believe God commands his followers to celebrate communion and baptism. So we practice these symbolic actions, reflecting on their significance.

• We believe Jesus will return to claim His Church. So we live in expectancy of His coming.

• We believe Christ will one day be seen clearly as King on earth. So we live as citizens of His Kingdom now.

• We believe God is the ultimate Judge. So we live knowing that our choices will echo through eternity.

• We believe we will live with God forever. So we live with hope regardless of our circumstances.

does “Diversity” mean including LGBTQ in our church?

We welcome all. We know that all have sinned and we all need a Savior. We teach that sin is anything that does not reflect God’s image and character. Our interpretation of God’s Word is that we are created for a marriage relationship between one man and one woman or celibacy.  God has created all of us with a desire for relationship and connection; therefore, we hope that everyone, regardless of background or orientation, will find Diversity Church a place of love and acceptance as we grow in our relationship with Christ.
