+ What We Believe

• An individual's salvation and higher life are personal matters between the individual soul and God.
• Salvation is deliverance from sin, which comes through a personal faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, who, through his love and sacrifice, draws us to Him.
• The Holy Spirit is an ever fresh and unfailing source of spiritual truth for the proper guidances of life and practice.
• The Holy Scriptures were given by inspiration of God and are the divinely authorized record of Christian doctrines.
• The whole spiritual life grows out of the soul's relation to God and its co-operation with Him, not from any outward or traditional practices.
• The Friends labor for the alleviation of human suffering; for the intellectual, moral, and spiritual elevation of mankind; and for purified and exalted citizenship.
• The Friends believe war to be incompatible with Christianity, and seek to promote peaceful methods for the settlement of all the differences between nations and between persons.
• The underlying principle of life and action for the individuals, and also for society, is transformation through the power of God and implicit obedience to His revealed will.
