we believe...
Personal God
We believe in the existence of the One God who is involved in and cares about our daily lives. Psalms 121:1-2
Mankind
We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that through Adam's sin, the human race fell, inherited a sin nature and became alienated from God, and that man lives in total depravity and is utterly incapable of redeeming himself.
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ, the everlasting Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal the Father and redeem mankind. We believe that Jesus accomplished our redemption through His death on the cross as a representative, substitutionary sacrifice and that our salvation is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead. We believe that Jesus ascended to Heaven, was seated on the Father's right hand where He continues to serve humanity as our High Priest, Intercessor and Advocate.
Authority of the Bible
We believe the Bible is the Word of God and has the right and power to command our beliefs and actions. 2 Timothy 3:16
Salvation
We believe that a person comes into right relationship with God by the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ, through faith in Jesus Christ and are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. Ephesians 2:8-9
Holy Spirit
We believe in the present day ministry of the Holy Spirit, in and through the life of a believer. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, by which believers are empowered and equipped for service and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Acts 1:8
Church
We believe the Church is God's primary way and vehicle for His purposes on the earth today. We believe that the local Church should be the expression of the One, True Universal Church and therefore, new birth and personal confession of faith in Jesus Christ are essentials of Church Partnership.
