• We accept the Bible and the Bible alone, as the inspired and infallible word of God. It is our standard for life. We are convinced that the Bible is God's love letter to all humanity and respond to it accordingly!

• We believe that Jesus is the Son of the only living God. That He alone is able to bridge the gulf that exists between us and God. We are convinced that He is God and became the ultimate expression of His love for each of us when He took human form, lived among us, died in our place, and conquered the power of sin and death.

• We believe in the present reality of the Holy Spirit. We believe that He lives within each believer to comfort, strengthen, mark as a child of God, and work with us as we seek to be like Jesus. That through Him each believer is gifted and equipped to minister within the church. He is co-equal with God and serves to empower each believer to live a victorious life in Jesus.

• We believe that salvation is offered fully and freely through Jesus to all who will believe and obey. This salvation is offered because of God"s love for us, and that all humanity stands in need great gift.

• We believe the Bible teaches the essential nature of baptism for those who would be followers of Jesus. That baptism is by immersing the believer in water to join them with Jesus in a death to their old life and usher them into a new life completely clothed with Him.

• We believe in the importance of the "Lord's Supper" and encourage anyone who loves Jesus to participate as He invites them to come. We believe that it is a spiritual feast that reminds us both of what Jesus' did and will do for those who love Him.

Our Vision For Real Life:

"At Real Life we will intentionally seek to bring younger families living within the Cornelius, Forest Grove, and West Hillsboro communities into a living, growing, and reproducing relationship with Jesus."

This will be accomplished by:

• Intentional relationship development

• Worship that is in touch with God's desire to connect with His kids.

• The power of Small Group dynamics.

• Helping people discover their place of service in God's Kingdom, and
empowering them to serve.

• Extending the reach of Real Life through birthing other churches.
