Statement of Faith:
Trinity: We believe God exists through eternity as Father, Son and Holy Spirit; three coequal persons in one triune God.
God the Father: We believe God the Father seeks to claim all people as his sons and daughters through the redeeming word of his Son, Jesus Christ.
God the Son: We believe Jesus Christ is the son of God, who came to rescue, restore and transform us to become joint heirs with him in God’s Kingdom. Fully God and fully human, he offered himself through his death on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for our sin. He arose from the dead, claiming victory over death. He shall return to earth to rescue his people. He reigns as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
God the Spirit: We believe the Holy Spirit and gives life to believers, enabling them to understand the Holy Scriptures, to be assured of salvation, to receive spiritual gifts, to experience God and to be empowered for godly living and serving.
The Word of God: We believe the entire Bible, both the Old Testament and the New Testament, constitutes the revealed and inspired Word of God and serves as the only infallible guide for faith and practice.
Salvation: We believe we receive the free gift of external life by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus is God’s only provision for human salvation, and his works are important as the fruit and evidence of our faith.
Human Destiny: We believe all people exist after death, either eternally separated from God by sin or living eternally with God through his grace and forgiveness.
The Church: We believe that as believers we are part of the universal Body of Christ, and as members of the His Church we have a variety of gifts and roles according to the grace he bestows. As a Church we celebrate two church ordinances, the Lord’s Supper (communion) and baptism.
Christian Living: We believe we are called by God first and foremost to obey his word, to act with love, to pray faithfully, to embrace the joy of the Lord in our lives and to share the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ, both locally and globally, through word and through deed.
