Our Beliefs

Lake Region Mennonite Church Core Beliefs

• We believe in Jesus Christ, the only son of God, who was born of a virgin, lived sinlessly on this earth, was crucified, died and raised again from the dead, and through his death is the only way to God the father for all human beings.  Jesus the son, God the father, and the Holy Spirit are the three parts of the Godhead, which form the trinity.  Through faith in Jesus Christ, we can be saved from our sins and follow him as an example and teacher.

  • II Timothy 3:16

• We believe it is a Christian’s duty to follow Jesus’ commands to “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”  By devoting ourselves to this teaching, we can experience a relationship with God, as well as demonstrate forgiveness, humility, encouragement, acceptance, love, mercy and the physical sharing of goods with one another. 

  • Luke 10:27
