Awesome relationships. Kids get excited about church. Neighbors understand each other at a heart level. Spiritually vibrant families. A place to serve and make a difference. A place to grow without guilt. A place to sing. A safe place. Second chances. Diversity brings us together since Jesus loves everybody. Healthier habits. Recovery. Journey. God’s story becomes our story. Life change. Forgiveness. Third chances. Fourth chances. Joy!

Everything we do is centered on these three beliefs: God is more loving than we can ever imagine, and since we are all loved we can love others more. Everybody needs a safe and life-changing place to explore, ask questions about God, discover next steps, and keep growing on a spiritual journey. God created family as the foundation of society, and building spiritually vibrant families will change the world.

There is one God, eternally existing in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and each possesses all of the attributes of God. God is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe and everything in it. He is the ultimate Giver of grace, love, peace and joy to all humanity.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is one with God the Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is our Savior, who was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on a cross for all sin, and was raised from the grave after three days to demonstrate His defeat of sin and death. He ascended into heaven and will return to earth to announce final judgment and begin his eternal reign in heaven.

The Holy Spirit is one with God the Father and Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit serves as our Comforter, Guide and Advocate. The Holy Spirit is given to Christians and provides guidance in living, an understanding of the Bible, and prayerfully intercedes for them. He brings people to a living faith, and equips Christians with special talents to fulfill God’s purposes.

Our foundation is based firmly upon the Bible as our final authority on Christian beliefs and as a guide to living. The Bible is divinely inspired by God, without error, given to people so that we may know and understand the truth of God and His love.

Salvation is not something that can be purchased or earned. It is a free gift from God provided by Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and is received through faith. Faith is God’s work on the heart, through baptism and the words of God in the Bible. Everyone who is saved still struggles with sin, but it does not curse or control them.

These are the basic teachings of the Bible that we love and believe. But there is more, so we invite you to join Pastor Daron’s "Jesus Loves Me" small group Bible study that explores our beliefs, based on the Bible. CrossLife Church is affiliated with the WELS, a Bible-believing, worldwide Lutheran church body with a rich history and a bright future.
