Who
We Are
What We Believe
The foundation
for our existence & ministry
- We believe that the Bible,
both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God. In the Bible
we find the complete revelation of God’s will for the salvation of men
and women, and divine and final authority for the Christian faith and
lifestyle.
- We believe in one God, creator
of all things, who is infinitely perfect and eternally existent in three
persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That Jesus is fully God and fully
man, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, He died
on the cross as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Further, He rose
bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is now at the right
hand of the Father as our High Priest and Advocate.
- We believe that all people
are created in the image of God but have fallen into sin and are therefore
lost in broken relationship with God. It is only through the regenerative
work of the Holy Spirit that salvation and life with God can be obtained.
That the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and His resurrection provide the
only grounds for justification and salvation.
- We believe that, through
the Holy Spirit, God glorifies His Son, Jesus Christ. That the Holy
Spirit in-dwells, guides, instructs and empowers those who believe so
they might live Godly lives of service. Every believer should be continually
filled with the Holy Spirit, thus being empowered to be witnesses to
the truth of the Gospel.
- We believe that there is
one true Church universal, comprised of all who have received God’s
grace in the person of Jesus Christ. That this body of believers gathers
together for worship, prayer, teaching of the Word, fellowship, service,
and the observance of Baptism and Communion.
- We believe in the priesthood
of all believers, maintaining that every believer has been gifted and
equipped by God for their role in the ministry and life of the Church.
Moreover, we believe that God leads and directs His Church through His
people and seek to facilitate this through the exercise of congregational
government.
