Statement of
Faith
1) We believe that there is one God who is eternally existent revealed
in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; each
having the same nature and attributes and are worthy of the same
worship and obedience.
2) We believe Jesus is the Son of God as illustrated by His pre-existence,
Incarnation, virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, bodily death
and resurrection, and ascension into heaven. Within Christ dwelt
the fullness of God. Christ is the supreme revelation of God, both
fully God and fully man, and was in fact God reconciling the world
to Himself.
3) We believe that the Holy Spirit dwells in every believer and
unites all to Christ in one body. We believe that the fruit of
the Spirit is the manifestation of the character of Christ, and
the gifts of the Spirit are the manifestation of Christ's power
to edify the church and fulfill the Great Commission today. Furthermore, we believe that the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit are active today, and are available to every Believer. As a church, we seek to learn about and move in each of them, both on a corporate and an independent level.
4) We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and is
in its totality authoritative, right and just. We believe the Bible
is the guide and standard of our faith and our conduct in daily
life.
5) We believe that mankind, by his willful sin, exists in a state
of sinfulness and separation from God. Because he is spiritually
dead and unable to gain right relationship with God on his own,
man must be redeemed and saved through faith in Jesus Christ's death
and resurrection. Faith in Christ alone brings repentance, salvation
and good works. There is no other means of salvation apart from
Jesus Christ.
6) We believe in the Universal Church, unified by the Spirit of
God, as the Body of Christ on Earth. We believe in the priesthood
of every believer. Through the local congregation, believers live
together in community, are accountable to God and one another, and
are equipped and released into ministry.
7) We believe in and practice the believer's baptism by water and
the remembrance of Christ through the partaking of the Lord's Supper,
also known as Communion.
