God’s heart is for all people!
We believe that God is calling people to serve and worship Him in unity, and that He is worthy of all the praise we could ever bring Him! He loves everyone—all are invited to join us for any Declare event or service project in the community. Everyone is welcome to come and know the Good News of Jesus!
“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.” - 1 John 3:16
What We Believe
First, we believe that God is worthy of all the praise and glory! As creator of the heavens and earth and each one of us, we stand in awe of His beauty, power and majesty.
We believe His heart is full of love for all people! Throughout the Bible we see God express His desire to BE with His people whom He created. Every one of us has sinned and fallen short of God and His glory. The miracle of salvation is that for ALL who repent and believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we find forgiveness and the promise of life with Him—both for today and for eternity! There is no sin or past that is too great for Jesus to forgive. If you don’t know him personally yet and you have questions, we would love to talk with you and share more.
We believe that Jesus was serious about his prayer in John 17: that He longed for His people to be united in Him, in truth and love for people and communities around us. We believe that people will see Jesus more fully by our love for one another, and for our communities.
We believe that Jesus not only changes individual lives, but that He also desires to see communities transformed through our partnership and collaboration together. We pray for His Kingdom to come and His will to be done, here on earth as it is in heaven. In heaven there won’t be brokenness, poverty, abuse, sickness or loneliness. We recognize that we live in a world that is broken by our own sin and selfishness, but we pray and pursue the realities of God’s Kingdom here as it is in heaven, just as Jesus taught us to pray.
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word and is true and relevant today, and that the Father has sent the Holy Spirit to fill and guide us. We are so thankful for the peace, presence and purpose that God gives. We invite you to join us for any worship service or community service event—our prayer is that as we worship and serve the Lord and our communities together, we will all experience His goodness and are drawn to be more like Him.
It’s impossible to summarize everything we believe about God and His Word and His love on one page, but we hope you know that you are deeply loved by the Creator of the universe! We look forward to worshiping and serving with you, and please do reach out if you have any questions.
