We believe…
We’re Christians. Not just in name, but in belief and practice.
These are the core truths that guide everything we do.
We believe in – The one true God, the Almighty Creator of all things, existing eternally in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that God’s only Son, Jesus Christ, being fully human and fully divine, lived as a perfect example. Jesus assumed the judgment due sinners by dying in our place and was then bodily raised from the dead and ascended as Savior and Lord.
We believe in the indwelling presence and transforming power of the Holy Spirit, who gives to all believers a new life and a new calling into obedient service.
We believe that the Bible is the unique, divinely inspired of the Word of God. The Bible is entirely trustworthy and authoritative for us.
We believe that by grace God justifies all who repent and put their faith in Jesus Christ alone. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, God considers all who believe righteous before Him, giving them salvation and the hope of eternal life.
We believe that human beings were created in the image of God to live in love and holiness. For that reason, all people have value and dignity and all life is sacred and precious.
We believe that the Church is a body of believers whose responsibility is to witness, through their lives and their words, to the truth and to proclaim the Gospel to all peoples.
We believe in the future, personal return and victorious reign of Jesus Christ, who will judge all people with justice and mercy.
We believe in the resurrection of believers to eternal life and fellowship with the Almighty Creator, His Son and the Holy Spirit.
