STATEMENT OF FAITH 

  1. We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, trustworthy and true, without error, Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

  2. We believe in one God, Creator of all things, holy, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in a loving unity of three equally divine Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19, John 1:1-3) 

  3. We believe Jesus Christ is God, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His death that paid for our sin through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory. (Hebrews 9:15-22; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Acts 1:6-11)

  4. We believe in the present ministry and sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, an abiding Helper, Teacher and Guide who enables Christians to live holy lives. Every Believer has access to and may operate in all of the Biblical gifts of the Spirit. We understand that the exercising of these gifts is to be done in a loving and orderly way. (John 14:15-26; John 16:5-16; Ephesians 1:13-14)

  5. We believe in eternal life, and that through belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, we spend eternity with the Lord in Heaven. (Matthew 25:31-46; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

  6. We believe that the true Church comprises all who have been justified by God’s grace through faith in Christ alone. They are united by the Holy Spirit in the body of Christ, of which He is the Head. (Philippians 2:1-4)

  7. We believe that God created all human beings in His image; that we must honor the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of all people; following Christ’s example, we believe that every person should be treated with love, dignity and respect. (Isaiah 49:1; Romans 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10, Ephesians 2:10)
