What We Believe
Jesus is the center. Love is our posture. Freedom is the fruit.

We believe that Jesus lived, died, and rose again, and that He now reigns with all authority in heaven and on earth.

We believe His love changes everything, and that it is absolutely possible to follow Him together without dividing over every doctrinal detail.

At The Beloved Church of Kalamazoo, we’re not here to debate people into faith. We’re here to walk in love, listen to the Spirit, and grow in grace together.

We may not agree on every theological point, and that’s okay. Everything else, we can love each other through.

Here are a few things we believe:

  • Jesus Christ lived, died, and rose again for the sake of the world
  • Jesus is the full expression of God and His character
  • Grace is greater than guilt, and love is greater than fear
  • The Holy Spirit is active, present, and empowering
  • Loving others is the true evidence of spiritual maturity
  • The Bible points us to Jesus and is best read through His life and love
  • Freedom in Christ is real, and it’s meant to free others too

You don’t have to believe all of this to walk with us.

Even if you don’t see it the same way, we still love you, and you still belong.
