Our Beliefs

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • The Bible

    We believe the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God, without error (in the original writings) and they are to be the divine and final authority of all Christian faith and life. There are no other writings similarly inspired by God.

  • The Trinity

    There is but one God, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three possess the same nature, attributes and glory, but are distinct in role and activity.

  • Jesus

    We believe Jesus Christ to be fully God and fully man; having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary – without sin. The death and subsequent bodily resurrection provide the only means of satisfying divine justice and providing salvation for all who believe in Him. He was buried and rose from the dead to ascend into heaven, where at the right hand of God he is now as our High Priest and Advocate.

  • Salvation

    We believe we were all created in the image of God but because sin was introduced into the world, every human being is separated from God, and by nature, sinful and lost. Salvation is entirely because God’s grace, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone. Only those who receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit, and become children of God.

  • Holy Spirit

    As followers of Jesus, we are indwelt and sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of the redemption of his body. The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus Christ, convict people of sin, provide the power for personal spiritual transformation, lead, guide, instruct, and empower the Christ follower for godly living and service.

  • The Church

    The true Church is not an organization, but a living organism comprised of all believers. We believe Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church. The local church is the expression, in any locality, of the true Church, having the authority under Christ to decide and govern its own affairs. Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed and practiced but are not a means of experiencing God’s grace.

  • The Return of Christ

    We believe that one day Jesus will return, and He will take his genuine followers to be with him and later to establish His earthly kingdom.

  • Resurrection

    We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead. Those who are genuine followers of Jesus will experience eternal life with Him. The unbelievers will be judge by Him and be condemned to everlasting punishment.

  • Baptism

    We believe that baptism is an outward demonstration of an inward decision to become a follower of Jesus. Jesus commanded us to be baptized therefore we are baptized as an act of obedience. Through baptism the follower of Jesus is symbolically identified with the death and resurrection of Jesus. We baptize by immersion because it follows the model of Jesus and his earliest followers.

  • The Lord’s Supper

    We celebrate communion to remember the death of Jesus who sacrificially died on the cross for our sins. This is a simple ceremony using the juice of the vine and bread, symbolic of the body and blood of Jesus.

  • Sharing our Resources

    We believe that God is giver of everything we have, and everything belongs to God. We believe as an act of worship that we sacrificially and generously give a portion of blessings back to God as a gift of gratitude to God for all He has given and done for us.
