Statement of Faith
WE BELIEVE...
  • In one Creator God, who reveals Himself as Father, Son and Spirit.
  • In the deity and humanity of Jesus Christ.
  • The Bible is the inspired and relevant Word of God.
  • All people have sinned and need God’s grace and forgiveness which is free and available to all through Jesus’ death on the cross.
  • God draws us to Himself but the decision to respond is ours.
  • An individual must repent and trust Christ to receive forgiveness and eternal life.
  • As Christians we need to offer our whole lives to God (the biblical word for this is sanctification).
  • When we give ourselves to God in this way, His Spirit can fully mold us into Christ-likeness; His perfect love is reflected in our attitudes and actions; and God empowers us to live more abundantly.
  • The church is the Body of Christ carrying on His purposes in the world.
  • God can bring healing.
  • Jesus Christ is coming again.
