Statement of faith
We believe in one God [Deut. 6:4] who is the all-powerful, all-knowing and all present Creator, eternally existing in three persons; God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. [Matt. 6:9; 2Cor. 1:3; John 8:58; John 1:1, 18; Acts 5:3-4; 1 Cor. 2:10-11]
We believe the Bible is the fully inspired, inerrant Word of God and that it has authority over our lives. [2Tim. 3:16; 1 Pet. 1:21]
We believe in the full deity and humanity of Jesus Christ and that He is God's Son. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, performed miracles and led a sinless life. He made atonement for the sins of the world by dying on the cross. He conquered death three days later, appeared before many witnesses and later ascended to Heaven. Jesus Christ will someday return to the earth, judge the world and establish his kingdom forever. [Phil. 2:6-7; John 5:16-27; Heb. 4:15; 1John 2:2; John 20; 1Cor. 15:4-6; Acts 1; Is. 9:7; Luke 1:33; Rev. 5:9]
We believe every person is created in the image of God.[Gen. 1:26-27]
We believe that all have sinned and are, as a consequence, eternally separated from and condemned by God. Out of love and mercy, God gave up His own Son Jesus Christ as a sacrifice, to redeem mankind from the bondage and penalty of sin. We believe salvation is exclusively obtained from believing and trusting in the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins. Salvation is a free gift of God's grace. Those who receive the gift of salvation will dwell eternally with God. [Rom. 3:23; Eph. 2:1-3; 1Pet. 3:18; Acts 4:12; Eph. 2:8]
We believe all those that have put their trust in Jesus Christ as their Savior make up the Church, the unified body of Christ. The Mission of the Church is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ and make disciples of all nations. [Rom. 12:5; Matt. 28:19]
