Faith and Beliefs
Our Foundation
At Saugatuck Congregational Church, we stand on a strong foundation of faith. We believe in the power of worship, study, and fellowship as means to strengthen our relationship with God and our community. Our congregation is built upon the teachings of Jesus Christ, emphasizing love, compassion, and service.
The Bible
The Bible is central to our faith and beliefs. We view it as the inspired word of God, guiding us in all aspects of life. Through the Bible, we gain wisdom, find comfort, and receive guidance on a spiritual journey of self-discovery and growth. We encourage regular study and reflection on the scriptures to deepen our understanding of God's word.
Trinity
We believe in the Holy Trinity – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This divine mystery represents the three distinct yet interconnected persons of God. The Trinity reveals the multifaceted nature of God, encompassing love, grace, and unity.
Salvation and Grace
Salvation is at the core of our beliefs. We affirm that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ, who sacrificed himself for the forgiveness of our sins. It is through God's grace that we are saved, not by our own deeds or merits. We celebrate this grace and strive to share it with others.
Community and Fellowship
Community and fellowship play vital roles in our church. We believe in coming together as a supportive and nurturing community, fostering deep connections and meaningful relationships. In this community, we find strength, inspiration, and accountability to live out our faith.
Social Justice and Service
As followers of Christ, we are called to actively pursue justice and serve others. We believe in advocating for equality, compassion, and the well-being of all individuals. Through our various outreach programs and partnerships, we strive to make a positive impact on our society and the world around us.
Hope and Eternal Life
Our faith affirms the hope and promise of eternal life. We believe in the resurrection and the assurance that there is life beyond death. This hope gives us comfort in times of sorrow and inspires us to live with purpose and meaning, knowing that our lives have eternal significance.
