CREDO:What we believe and why it matters

Starting Sunday, October 11th

Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you
the reason for this hope you have.
~1 Peter 3:15

We live in a world of immense diversity. We are surrounded every day by a multiplicity of influences and voices that represent dynamic (and sometimes very compelling) belief systems, ideologies, and worldviews. And, while we may share a number of important convictions with people of other religions or faith traditions, questions arise: Is it all the same? Is there no difference at all in the end? Is there anything that sets our faith apart from the others?

In the midst of our shared life with good neighbors from every kind of religious background and theological conviction, it becomes all-the-more crucial in our age to understand (with clarity) the core beliefs and theological distinctives that set our faith apart.

But knowing what we believe is just the beginning. Anyone can know what they believe.
A mature faith calls us to not only know what we believe, but why we believe what we believe. That’s what this series is all about.

“Credo” is Latin for “I believe.” It’s more than a declaration. It is a call to ground our lives in what matters most. Each week, we will explore the essential beliefs of our faith: Who is Jesus and why does He matter? What is the nature of God? Why do we call scripture “sacred,” and what gives it authority in our lives? What is the nature of sin and how does Grace work?With all of its baggage, is the Church even relevant today? Why should I care that we’re a “Baptist” church? And where is this whole thing going in the end?

This is a series for seekers and skeptics, for the certain and the curious. It is an invitation to grow deeper in our faith with humility and clarity—holding our unashamed convictions with love for all. So, come with your questions. Come with your wonder. Come and rediscover the power of authentic belief—grounded in grace, alive with passion, and fully present in the world.
