We believe:
-
God
We believe there is only one God in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as revealed in the Holy Bible and made known in Jesus Christ our Lord.
(Genesis 1:1,26,27; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19) -
Jesus
We believe that Jesus the divine Son became human, was born of a virgin, ministered in word and miracle, died for our sin, was raised bodily from the dead, ascended to God's right hand and is coming again for his people.
-
Earth
We believe God created the Earth and everything in it. Genesis 1:1-31 Mankind is a special creation of God, made in His image. He created them, male and female, being the only genders, as the crowning work of His creation. The gift of gender is thus part of the goodness of God’s creation. He assigned separate genders and made them equal in dignity, value, and worth as image bearers of Him.
(Genesis 1:27-Genesis 2:7; Isaiah 4:12) -
Sex & Marriage
We believe that sexual activity is to be exclusively practiced within the parameters of biblical marriage, and that marriage is defined in both Old and New Testaments as an institution ordained by God as a lifelong union of only one man and one woman.
(Genesis 1&2; Matthew 19: 4-6) -
Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is presently ministering through the Christian Community, empowering lives of godliness and service.
-
The Bible
We believe that the Holy Bible is God-breathed, true in all its teaching, and the final authority for all matters of faith and practice.
-
The Church
We believe that Jesus Christ established his Church on earth to carry out his saving mission among all people groups and formed the Church to be One Holy People.
-
Salvation
We believe in God's saving grace that calls forth from all people: faith, repentance, confession, baptism, and new life and ministry through the Spirit.
-
Our Church
And we commit ourselves to the teaching, practice and defense of these truths until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
