We are a sincerely imperfect people seeking a perfect God. These are the convictions that anchor everything we do.
We exist as a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God — a global family of believers — planted right here in Amherst, Massachusetts. Our vision isn't complicated: we believe Jesus is still transforming lives today, and we want every person in this city to encounter that.
Whether you've followed Jesus your whole life or you're asking about Him for the first time, you are welcome here. This is a community where faith grows, questions are welcomed, and nobody has to walk alone.
Everything we do is aimed at helping people grow into CLIP Christians — Committed, Living, Independent, and Practicing.
Through genuine relationships — with God and with each other — we help people build a faith that's personal, real, and lasting.
God has given every person unique gifts and talents. We create space to discover, develop, and maximise what He's placed inside of you.
A growing faith doesn't stay inside four walls. We commission people to positively touch the lives of others — starting in Amherst and reaching to the ends of the earth.
Six convictions that shape the culture of everything we do.
Everything starts here. We believe faith is not a religion of rules but a living, breathing relationship with the God who made us and loves us.
We lead with love — for God, for each other, and for our city. Love is not just a feeling; it's the defining action of everyone who follows Jesus.
Because we serve an excellent God, we pursue excellence in all we do. That doesn't mean perfection — it means giving our very best in every area.
We resist complexity for its own sake. Church should be accessible to everyone, and our programs, our language, and our culture reflect that.
We believe faith works — in your Monday morning, not just your Sunday morning. Our teaching is rooted in Scripture and relevant to everyday life.
Worship is not a warm-up to the sermon; it's a whole way of life. We cultivate hearts that respond to God with genuine passion and joy.
Grounded in the historic Christian faith and the authority of Scripture.
We believe the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God — our ultimate guide for faith and life.
We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe Jesus is fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, who lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and rose bodily from the dead.
We believe salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone — it cannot be earned or deserved.
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, empowering us to live a transformed, Spirit-led life.
We believe in the local church as God's primary instrument of love, mission, and discipleship in the world.
We practice baptism by immersion as a public declaration of faith, and celebrate communion regularly in remembrance of Christ.
We believe Jesus will return bodily and visibly, and that God will make all things new.
