Our Beliefs

Word of God (Bible)

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

Triune God

There is one God, the creator, who exists eternally in unity as three equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The triune God is loving, holy, infinite, just, and worthy of all worship.

God the Father

We believe in God, the Father, creator and ruler of the universe. We believe he eternally exists in three Persons - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit; they execute distinct yet harmonious offices in the work of Creation, Providence and Redemption.

Jesus Christ

We believe in Jesus Christ, the son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born by the virgin Mary. We believe that Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all by dying on a cross. We believe he rose from the grave defeating sin and death. He ascended to heaven and will return again to establish his Kingdom. 

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and Son. He is present in the world, drawing people to belief in Christ to experience transformation. We believe the Holy Spirit lives in every believer in Christ, to empower and equip us for mission and regeneration.

Humanity

Humanity is made in the image of God; created male and female to bear his image and reflect his character. Designed to have relationship with Him, however through disobedience, humanity fell into sin and became alienated from God, completely dependent on mercy for salvation. 

Salvation

Salvation is available to all people by the loving, redemptive act of the triune God. Christ, who had no sin, became sin for us offering himself and shedding his blood on the cross so that in him we might become right with God. The life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ provide the way of salvation for those who, by God’s grace, repent from their sin and confess faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.

Church

We believe in the universal church, a living spiritual body in which Christ is the head. The local church is the visible expression of the universal church, consisting of believers in Jesus Christ, who joined together to worship, work and fellowship.
