What We Believe...
We hold to the great foundational truths of the historic Christian faith,
held in common by like-minded evangelical Christians with whom we share both
fellowship and the mission mandate.
We believe that there is one God, creator and sustainer
of the universe, existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Bible is the verbally inspired Word
of God, is inerrant in the original manuscripts and uniquely infallible, our
only authority for faith and practice.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His
virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His substitutionary
sacrifice upon the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His victory over
sin and His enemy Satan, in His present exaltation at His Father’s right
hand, and in His personal return, at any time, in power and great glory.
We believe in the fall and lostness of man, whose total
depravity requires that he be regenerated by the Holy Spirit for his
salvation.
We believe that salvation consists of the forgiveness of
sins, the imputation of Christ’s righteousness, and the gift of eternal
life, received by grace through faith alone, entirely apart form works.
We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose
indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life, and by whom the
Church, the Body of Christ, is gifted and equipped to serve and glorify God.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all mankind:
those who have trusted in Christ, the ultimate Judge, will receive
everlasting life and blessedness in heaven; those who have not will receive
everlasting punishment and separation from the presence of God.
We believe that Christ has commanded His Church to
preach the gospel to all people, and that this mandate should be a primary
concern of all Christians.
