What We Believe

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator of all things, perfect in love, holiness, justice and wisdom (Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

Jesus is fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross as the substitute for our sin, rose bodily from the dead and ascended to heaven. He will return in power and glory (John 1:1–14; Philippians 2:5–11; 1 Corinthians 15:3–8).

The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, gives new life to all who believe, lives within every Christian and empowers believers with gifts for serving God and others (John 16:7–13; Romans 8:9–11; 1 Corinthians 12).

The Bible is God’s Word, written by human authors under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is true, trustworthy and without error in its original writings, and it is the final authority for faith and life (2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21).

Every person is created in the image of God and has immeasurable worth. Yet all people have sinned and are separated from God, unable to restore that relationship by their own effort (Genesis 1:27; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:2).

Salvation is a free gift of God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone — not earned by good works. Everyone who turns from sin and trusts in Jesus is forgiven, adopted into God’s family and given eternal life (Ephesians 2:8–9; John 3:16; Romans 10:9–10).

The church is the body of Christ — all believers everywhere — expressed in local communities that worship, grow, serve and share the good news together. We practice two ordinances: believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper (Acts 2:41–47; Matthew 28:19–20; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26).

God will one day make all things new. Jesus will return, the dead will be raised, and those who belong to Him will live forever in His presence. We live today with hope and urgency because of that future (John 14:1–3; Revelation 21:1–5).
