This is a summary of our beliefs. For more detail, see our full Statement of Faith.

God

We believe in one God, sovereign Creator of all things, eternally existent in three equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

• We believe Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, was born, crucified, raised from the dead and ascended to heaven as related in the Gospels. We believe He will return to judge, restore, and reign over all things.
• We believe the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and, during this age, to convict men, regenerate the believing sinner, and indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service.

Scripture

We believe that the sixty-six canonical books of the Bible as originally written were inspired by God, and are thus free from error. They constitute the only infallible guide in faith and practice.

Man

We believe in the value and dignity of all people: created in God’s image to live in love and holiness, but alienated from God and each other because of our sinfulness and guilt, and justly subject to God’s wrath.

Sin

We believe that, man, through his fallen nature, cannot be in the presence of a holy God. In order to satisfy the requirements of His unconditional love and unconditional holiness, God Himself, in the Person of Jesus Christ, voluntarily bore the cost of our sinful character, redeeming His chosen by grace through faith in Jesus.

Salvation

We believe that this redemption has been made available to all those who, prompted by the Holy Spirit, respond in repentance, and commit their lives to Him as their own sovereign Lord and personal Savior.

Eternal Disposition

We believe, that while man’s body is finite, his spirit is permanent. In God’s timing, all who are redeemed will be raised to live in his immediate presence eternally, and those who are unredeemed will be separated from His presence and goodness forever.

The Church

We believe that there is ultimately one Church, a fellowship of all people who belong to Jesus Christ. We believe that the Church is called to love, fellowship, cooperation, and accountability; that the Church exists as a vital Christ-centered community, and that it is commissioned to articulate and demonstrate the message of the Gospel to every part of the human race. We believe that the nature and activity of both the universal and local Church must, at all times, be defined by the Bible, must reflect the character of Jesus Christ, and must prayerfully rely on the strength of the Holy Spirit.
