Basic Beliefs

We believe and proclaim the Lord Jesus Christ is the only Savior. He is fully God and fully human, born of the virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sins and rose bodily from the grave to give us new life. Those who put their faith in Him are adopted as children of the Father through His grace alone. Through faith in Jesus Christ we died in Him and in His resurrection rose in Him to be born again as new creations in Christ Jesus. There is no other Name by which we must be saved than Jesus Christ who will return again.

We believe in God the Holy Spirit who is the Lord and Giver of life, who with the Father and Son is to be worshipped and glorified. The Holy Spirit dwells within each believer bringing forth the "Fruit of the Spirit" to make us like Jesus in life, character, joy and holiness. The Holy Spirit comes upon believers with power gifting them and doing

 

the works of Jesus through the believer to proclaim the Kingdom of God. We believe the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to give witness to our Lord, Jesus Christ.

We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the Word of God and the rule of faith and life. Given by the inspiration of God, they are to be believed and obeyed and through them the Holy Spirit reveals to us who God is and what God requires of us.

We believe the church is composed of all believers who profess faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. There are several doctrines within Christianity where faithful and intelligent believers differ.  We strive to give space for differences on non-crucial issues while building up the family of God in love for one another through the unity of our love for and devotion to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
