Statement of Faith

God

1.     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.  Having limitless knowledge and sovereign power, God has graciously purposed from eternity to redeem a people for Himself and to make all things new for His own glory.
 

The Bible

2.     We believe that God has spoken in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, through the words of human authors. It is to be believed in all that it teaches, obeyed in all that it requires, and trusted in all that it promises.

The Church

4.     We believe that the true church is the bride of Christ preparing for the return of its groom Christ.  The body of Christ comprises all who have been justified by God's grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ.  We believe that Christ is the head of the church.

Christian Living

5.   We believe that God commands us to love Him supremely, and others sacrificially, and to live out our faith with care for one another, compassion toward the poor and justice for the oppressed.  With God's Word, the Spirit's power, and fervent prayer in Christ's name, we are to combat the spiritual forces of evil.  In obedience to Christ commission, we are to make disciples among all people, always bearing witness to the gospel in word and deed.
 
                The Holy Spirit
2. We believe that the Holy Spirit, in all that He does, glorifies Lord Jesus - Christ.  He convicts the world of its guilt. He also indwells, illuminates, guides, equips and empowers believers for Christ-like living and service. 
Christ's return and Eternal life
6. We believe in the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.  The coming of Christ, at a time known only to God, demands constant expectancy and , as our blessed hope, motivates the believer to godly living, sacrificial service and energetic mission.  We believe that God commands everyone everywhere to believe the gospel by turning to Him in repentance and receiving the Lord Jesus Christ.  We believe that God will raise the dead bodily and judge the world, assigning the unbeliever to condemnation and eternal conscious punishment and the believer to eternal blessedness and joy with the Lord in the new heaven and the new earth, to the praise of His glorious grace .
