We believe ‚…
* There is one true almighty God, who is the Creator of all things.
* God exists in three persons ‚– Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
* People are sinful by nature, and therefore alienated from God. We cannot bridge the gap that exists between us and God.
* God gave his only son, Jesus Christ, as the way to reconciliation with God.
* Jesus voluntarily bore the judgment due to us as sinners by dying on the cross in our place.
* Jesus was raised from the dead. He conquered sin and death, and makes it possible for us to have a relationship with God.
* Salvation is a free gift of God ‚’s grace and not the result of human effort.
* Salvation is received by repentance and putting faith in Jesus Christ.
* The Holy Spirit dwells in each believer, transforming them and calling them to obedient service to God.
* The Bible is the divinely inspired and authoritative Word of God.
* All people are created in the image of God and have God-given worth and dignity.
* Jesus Christ is the head of the Church and all believers are united in Him.
* God calls believers to proclaim the gospel to all people and make disciples.
