STATEMENT OF FAITH
WE BELIEVE…
1. The Bible consists of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, is the
inspired word of God and truthful in all that it affirms. It is the final authority for
Christian faith and practice.
2. There is one true God who eternally exists as three persons: The Father,
The Son and The Holy Spirit. Distinct in relationship, the three persons of the trinity are
fully God and are one in essence and purpose. God has revealed Himself to be the
infinite personal Creator, who is sovereign over all things.
3. Jesus Christ is God’s eternal Son. Being both fully God and fully man; He
was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died as an atoning sacrifice for the sins of all
mankind, rose bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven to prepare a place for
believers and to intercede on their behalf.
4. Mankind was originally created in God’s image but being tempted by Satan,
chose to sin and rebel against God. As a result of this fallen condition, God’s image
has been marred and all men and women are born separated from God and in need of
salvation. Through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ’s finished work on the
cross, we are forgiven our sins, reborn by the Holy Spirit and restored into fellowship
with God.
5. The Holy Spirit persuades us to repent of our sins and confess Jesus
Christ as Lord. He lives in us, teaches us, equips us with spiritual gifts for effective
ministry and empowers us to live, grow, and serve in obedience to God.
6. The Church is the living Body of Christ on earth and comprised of all true
believers in Jesus Christ. He is the head and source of the Church’s life, which exists
to glorify God. The Church fulfills its mission by celebrating the glory and goodness of
God, cultivating personal growth in Christ, caring about one another in biblical
community and communicating the gospel in word and action to the world.
7. Jesus Christ will physically return to earth to establish his eternal
kingdom. He will judge the world, reward the saints and rule for all eternity. This is the
blessed hope of the Church and its encouragement for perseverance in faith and
ministry. Those who have been reborn in Christ will live with Him forever.
