What We Believe
About the Bible The Bible is the inspired, living, authoritative Word of God! It is our foundation for faith and Christian living.
About Our World The entire universe is the purposeful creation of a personal, loving, God who created it for His pleasure and glory. All human beings are created in the image of God to represent Him on earth, and are of infinite worth. The world is under the curse of sin as a result of mankind’s disobedience to God, so that suffering, death and separation from God are the experience of humankind. Without the intervention of God’s grace, this is the eternal condition of every person.
About God God is the infinite Creator of all things, who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three (the Trinity) are one in essence but distinct in person. God the Father is the first person of the Trinity and the source of all that God is and does. He is an eternal, self-existent, unchangeable, omnipresent, omniscient, all-powerful, true, faithful, good, loving, righteous and holy God.
About Jesus Christ Jesus Christ is the incarnate Son of God. Through His virgin birth, sinless life, sacrificial death on the cross, and glorious resurrection and ascension, He graciously offers new life to all who receive Him as Lord. This salvation comes freely to those who receive it by grace through faith – not by works. Christ will return to this world again at His second coming, bring about the final judgment, and welcome believers into His eternal kingdom.
About the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit indwells the believer at salvation and gives each person the desire and power to live the life God has intended us to live. He is our Helper, Counselor, Advocate, Strengthener and Intercessor in the midst of every situation we face.
About the Christian Life Every Christian should live out his faith in the family of believers we call the church, demonstrating a life of worship, prayer, devotion and service to others. All believers should love God with all their entire heart, soul, mind and strength – seeking to fulfill the plans God has for their lives.
