About Us
Statement of Faith
What we believe, held in common with the historic Christian church.
[Draft wording, for the Board of Directors to confirm]
We believe
- 01
The Bible
The Bible, Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God, true and trustworthy, and the final authority for faith and life.
- 02
God
There is one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
- 03
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, ascended to heaven, and will come again.
- 04
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, gives new life to those who believe, lives in every believer, and empowers the church to witness.
- 05
Humanity
Every person is created in the image of God. All have sinned, are separated from God, and cannot save themselves.
- 06
Salvation
Salvation is a gift of God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not earned by works.
- 07
The Church
The church is the body of Christ, made up of all who believe. Local churches gather to worship, teach God’s Word, baptize, share the Lord’s Supper and make disciples.
- 08
The Great Commission
Christ sends His church to make disciples of all nations. Every believer is called to share the Gospel.
- 09
The Return of Christ
Jesus Christ will return in glory. The dead will be raised; those who belong to Him will live with God forever, and all will stand before Him in judgment.
