OUR BELIEFS
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Our Faith Statement
-
We believe in one eternal God, creator of heaven and earth, revealed in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (John 1:1-3; Matthew 28:19).
-
We believe Jesus Christ is God's Son, who was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose again in victory (1 Corinthians 15:3-4; John 3:16).
-
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells all believers, empowering us for worship, service, and holy living (Acts 1:8; Galatians 5:22-23).
-
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God, the ultimate authority for faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
-
We believe salvation is a free gift of God's grace received through faith in Jesus Christ, resulting in new life and eternal hope (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6).
-
We believe in the importance of the local church as the body of Christ, called to worship, fellowship, disciple-making, and sharing the Gospel (Matthew 28:19-20; Hebrews 10:25).
-
We look forward to the personal return of Jesus Christ and the fulfilment of God's eternal kingdom (Titus 2:13; Revelation 22:20).
Our mission is to love God passionately, serve others faithfully, and share the Gospel boldly, all for the glory of God.
