Statement of Faith

Our Congregation Believes every person is valued and important to God.  It is our desire that everyone find the love of Christ, experience

grace and friendship through community, and discover the plan God

has for their life by sharing his truth and his love with them.

The Custer Community Church will make ourselves known to non-members in the community through our community service and outreach.  We will listen so as to better understand the needs of this community.  Our membership will consist of willing workers who  demonstrate their faith through their actions.
The Custer Community Church will stand with oppressed peoples and persons, and be intentional about their inclusion in the life of the congregation and community.
