WHAT WE BELIEVE
Bible
We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit to write the words of Scripture. Therefore, the Bible, in its original autograph, is without error.
God
We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).
Jesus
We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to man and to become the Saviour of the lost world.
Humanity
We believe that every person was created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him, but became alienated from that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, everyone is totally incapable of coming back into a right relationship with God by his or her own effort.
Salvation
We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sins. Therefore, salvation only occurs when a person places personal faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as the sufficient payment for his or her sin.
Christians
We believe that Christians should live for Christ and not for themselves. By obedience to the Word and daily yielding to the Spirit, every believer will mature and become conformed to the image of Christ.
Church
We believe that the church is the body of Christ of which Jesus Christ is the Head. The members are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and by making Him known to a lost world.
