What We Believe
We believe the Bible is the divinely inspired
and authoritative Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
- We believe in one God, Creator, and
Sustainer of the Universe, who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.
- We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who
being fully God became fully man, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on a
cross, was raised bodily, is exalted to God's right hand, and will personally come
again.
- We believe that all have sinned and are
guilty before God; and as a result, all, both individually and corporately, suffer the
consequences of the Fall and are under condemnation.
- We believe that because of His love, God
sent His Son Jesus Christ, who inaugurated His kingdom, provided atonement for sin,
conquered the principalities and powers, is reconciling the world to Himself, and will
consummate His kingdom in righteousness, power, and glory.
- We believe that those who repent and believe
in Christ are delivered from God's judgment and are born again into life eternal, and are
called to be instruments of God's righteousness and reconciliation in human
society.
- We believe in the Holy Spirit who glorified
Jesus Christ, works in all people to bring them to faith and obedience, and dwells in
believers equipping and empowering them for lives of holiness and fruitful
service.
- We believe that the church, the body of
Christ, consists of all believers and exists to fulfill Christ's mission, making
disciples of all nations and bringing healing and justice to human society, all to the
glory of God.
- We believe in the
resurrection of the body, the everlasting punishment of unbelievers, and the everlasting
blessedness of believers in the presence of Christ.
