Our Beliefs:

The Bible - We believe that the Holy Bible is God’s Word, without error in the original manuscripts, and our final authority in matters of faith and life (2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 119:105). It is the basis of everything we do.

Trinity - We believe that there is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4), eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:13). We believe that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully human, who by his death on the cross has redeemed us (1 Tim. 3:16, Isaiah 9:6, Colossians 1:15-20).We believe that the Holy Spirit’s supernatural gifts are available and operative today for all Christians (Acts 2, 1 Corinthians 12:1-31, 14:1-12).

Human Nature – We believe that men, women, and human sexuality itself was created by God, in the image of God, pure and holy (Gen 1&2). Yet we also believe that, in free will, humanity has chosen knowledge other than God ever since Adam and Eve (Gen 3). As a result, we believe that human nature contains selfishness and sin, which are not removable by human means (Rom. 3:23). We also believe that all humans are equal in sin and we all fall short of God’s glory, resulting in spiritual and physical death (Rom 1-2, 6:23)

Salvation - We believe that Christ alone (Acts 4:12, John 14:6) provides salvation. Just as Adam introduced sin into the world, Christ alone introduces grace & salvation (Ro 5). This salvation is a free gift and cannot be earned in any way (“grace” - Ephesians 2:8-9).  We believe that we partake of this free gift of grace by faith alone (Romans 3:28, John 3:16), and thereby enter a life-long process of change and growth (Romans 12:2, 2 Cor. 5:17).  We believe that one can be certain of eternal life (“assurance” - John 5:24, 1 John 5:13). We believe that there is a heaven and a hell, and that Christ is the only salvation to which we can turn.
