What We Believe

Foundation of our Faith

Matthew 7:24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

God

There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is true God and true man. He lived a perfect life, died on the cross as a substitutionary sacrifice for our sins. He arose bodily from the dead and will come again to establish His Kingdom.

Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit was sent to glorify the Lord Jesus, convict the world of sin, and indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for Godly living and service. It is the will of God that through the Holy Spirit each believer be separated from sin and fully dedicated to the will of God. This is a progressive experience.

Bible

We believe the Bible is uniquely God-inspired and without error in the original writings. The Bible is a complete revelation of God’s will that can transform us into the kind of people God wants us to be.

People

All people are sinners and need God’s forgiveness.  Those who trust in Jesus Christ, and Him alone, for their salvation are indwelt with the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life and become true children of God.

To Come

At the end, everyone will experience bodily resurrection and the judgment.  Those who have faith in Christ will enjoy eternal fellowship with God; those who do not will experience eternal punishment in Hell.

The Church

We believe that the true Church consists of those who have been justified by God’s grace through faith in Christ.  They are united by the Holy Spirit in the body of Christ with Christ Himself as the Head.  The Church has been commissioned by God to make disciples among all people by sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ in word and deed.

Christ's Return

We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ.  This return, at a time known only to God, gives us hope and motivates us to holy living and faithful service.
