What We Believe
For our statement of faith, please see the Baptist Faith and Message.
The Gospel
At Dalewood, we believe that God created humans to worship and enjoy fellowship with him. Indeed, all that we say, think, or do, we endeavor to do the glory of God.
However, because of human sinfulness – that every human has fallen short of God’s standard – there is a rupture in our relationship with God. Each person, at some level, lives in rebellion against God. The result of our rebellion is pain, suffering, and damaged relationships in the present, and ultimatelt God’s judgment resulting in death.
Yet, because God loves humanity, he sent his Son Jesus Christ to be the savior of humanity and to renew the world. By Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, he enables all humans to be forgiven and restored in their relationship with God and others. In fact, this renewal project is cosmic in scope – God is aiming to renew the world in Christ to create a new heavens and a new earth.
At Dalewood, we area community of people who follow, worship, and serve Jesus Christ. He is at the center of all we do. Having been redeemed by Jesus Christ, we endeavor to live holy lifes full of love.
