What We Believe

Our Statement of Faith and what we believe reflects key core convictions and beliefs that we see biblically and hold to.

✝ Scripture - the Old and New Testaments in their original writing, fully inspired of God and our supreme and final authority for faith and life

✝ The Trinity - one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Spirit

✝ Jesus Christ - conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; on earth fully God and fully man, and now fully God at the Father's right hand

✝ Creation & the Fall - God created man in His own image; man sinned and therefore received the consequence of death, both physical and spiritual

✝ Our Need for Saving - all people have sinned and fallen short of God's glory, and are in need of saving (Romans 3:23)

✝ Salvation - Christ died for our sins in our place as a substitutionary sacrifice; all who believe in Him and repent are justified on the grounds of His shed blood

✝ Christ our Example - while on earth as fully man, Jesus set us an example, and we are to live in the same way, aspiring to be Christlike (1 John 2:6)

✝ Resurrection, Ascension & Return - the bodily resurrection of Jesus, His ascension into heaven, His present life as our King, Leader, High Priest and God, and His personal return one day

✝ New Birth - all who receive and follow Christ by faith are reborn of the Holy Spirit and become children of God, aware of and led in all aspects by the Spirit

✝ Gifts of the Spirit - the full collection of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, operating under His guidance in a biblical and orderly manner within the church

✝ Eternity - the resurrection of both the just and the unjust; eternal life with Christ for the redeemed, and eternal banishment for those who reject the offer of salvation

✝ The Church - the one true Church is all who have been redeemed by Christ and regenerated by the Spirit, while each local gathering constitutes the church in its own context

✝ The Local Church - with Christ as its head, striving after His character and ways personally and corporately; accepting His salvation and walking in His ways are essentials of membership

✝ Marriage - ordained by God as a heterosexual relationship between a natural man and a natural woman

✝ Personal Relationship with God - each believer is responsible for nurturing and maintaining their own relationship with God through prayer, Bible reading, and fellowship with the community of believers

✝ Making Disciples - at the heart of what the church does, we look to be like Christ and continue His work, with a focal point on making disciples of all

✝ Baptism & the Lord's Supper - two ordinances appointed by Christ: believer's baptism by immersion, and the Lord's Supper as a remembrance of His given body and shed blood, observed until He comes
