We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and our only rule of faith and practice. As Scripture teaches, we believe God became man in the person of Jesus Christ, saving us from sin by grace through faith. We believe the seventh-day Sabbath was established by God at Creation and honored by Jesus in His earthly ministry as a gift of rest and rejuvenation for all. We celebrate the church as the diverse “new community” forged through the death and resurrection of Jesus, in which all are called, all are gifted, and all are valued. We anticipate Jesus’ personal and visible return to earth to raise the righteous dead, make the earth new, and dwell with His faithful children throughout eternity . We live out our love for Jesus by growing in His likeness and by serving our fellowmen.

Welcome to Sligo today. I love to make things out of wood. As a child, I accompanied my dad to construction sites and observed how houses were built from the ground up. Part of my dad’s role in constructing those buildings was laying the baseboard in each home. At first I would take my little Tonka truck and play in the dirt as if I were preparing to build something. As I grew up, I began working with my father and enjoyed the experience very much. What I enjoyed most was watching my dad master his trade. When we completed a project, I loved to stand back and admire the finished work, feeling proud that it was Dad’s workmanship that was employed in decorating the lower part of each wall. As you stand back and see yourself, do you see God’s workmanship? Many times we don’t. - Gerry Lopez
