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.
