STATEMENT OF FAITH
We stand on the Bible as the divinely inspired Word of God. We believe there is one God, eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We proclaim that a Christian is a person who has come into Salvation and Lordship of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born a virgin birth, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died a vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, bodily rose from the dead, ascended to the right hand of the Father and will personally return in power and glory.
We rely on the convicting, guiding, empowering, equipping, indwelling presence and work of the Holy Spirit to bring us into a holy life and a ministry within the church and witness to the world.
We teach that Christians will be resurrected along with the lost, yet saved unto the resurrection of life while they that are lost will be resurrected unto eternal judgment.
We see the church as the assembly, the community and the fellowship of all Christians.
