Statement of Faith
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. We believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and the only way to the Father. We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential to salvation and sanctification.
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, authoritative, and fully normative Word of God in all matters of faith and life. We believe the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) is the primary purpose of the church and of every Christ-follower. We believe that Jesus fulfilled His created purpose and as Jesus’ followers we are called to fulfill our created purpose of loving Him and loving others through serving and sharing the gospel with them.
We believe that the Church is the body of Christ in our world, with many and various parts that differ in appearance and function by design. Every Jesus-follower is called to be a part of a local Christian community, where love for one another is learned and made manifest before a watching world. We believe that it is only through the active work of the Holy Spirit in our individual lives where unity, integrity, service, collaboration and partnership will be fostered within the body of believers.
Our Core Values
Unity
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”
John 17:20-21
Integrity
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses it saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.”
Matthew 5:13
Collaboration
“Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” Proverbs 15:22 “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
Ecclesiastes 4:12
Service
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”
