What we believe

Statement of belief

About God

WE BELIEVE that God is a Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each an uncreated person, one in essence, equal in power and glory.

WE BELIEVE in God, the Father: Almighty Creator of heaven and earth.

WE BELIEVE in the Holy Spirit: who empowers Christ-followers to serve and share their faith. The Holy Spirit is our Comforter and directs us in life.

 

About Jesus Christ

WE BELIEVE in Jesus Christ, His only Son: our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He was crucified, dead and buried. He rose again on the third day. He ascended to heaven and now sits in authority at the right hand of God the Father. He will return to claim his Church and judge mankind.

WE BELIEVE in a literal Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and eagerly await the resurrection of those who died in Him. We believe in a literal heaven and hell. The eternal status for saints and unbelievers is determined by Christ, based on their relationship with Him. His Kingdom will have no end.

 

About Scripture

WE BELIEVE the Bible is the perfect and inspired Word of God. It is our source of all doctrine, instruction and correction. It provides practical guidance for every- day life. WE BELIEVE in communion as a commemoration of Christ’s death and will continue to do it in this memory until He comes again. It is a sign of our relationship with Him.

 

About Mankind

WE BELIEVE mankind is enslaved to sin. Jesus Christ came to pay the price for our sin on the cross. By His death, we can be in right-relationship with God. His death makes possible the healing of our body, soul and spirit.

 

About Baptism

WE BELIEVE baptism is an outward sign of what God has already done in our lives. We follow Christ’s example, and through it identify with Him, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

 

About The Church

WE BELIEVE in the Church: the bride of Christ, whose goal is to make disciples throughout the world. This global Church is comprised of many local fellowships. We affirm those fellowships who see Jesus Christ as Lord as the only way to heaven.
