Faith Statement

We believe that there is only one God eternally existing in three Persons: the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus is God, in equal standing with the Father and the Holy Spirit.

 We believe the Bible is God's written revelation to man and is verbally inspired, authoritative and without error.

 We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, and is the fullness of Christ on earth (Ephesians 1.22, 23). We believe that we belong to this Church, one that is not established by any human’s intellect but by the will of God. We believe that the Church is not a monument, but a collection of people believing in the Lordship of Jesus Christ, for which Christ died.

 We believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3-4), that He performs the miracle of new birth in an unbeliever and indwells believers (1 Corinthians 3:16), enabling them to live a godly life (Romans 8:14).

We believe man was created in the image of God, but because of sin was alienated from God. Alienation can be removed by accepting God's gift of salvation by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-10) which was made possible by Christ's death and resurrection. This faith will be evidenced by the works that we do (James 2:17, 26).

 We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, and is the fullness of Christ on earth (Ephesians 1.22, 23). We believe that we belong to this Church, one that is not established by any human’s intellect but by the will of God. We believe that the Church is not a monument, but a collection of people believing in the Lordship of Jesus Christ, for which Christ died.

 We believe that Baptism is the command of God and is an outward testament of an inward change that happened at the point of salvation. We believe that Baptism does not save people because no act can save mankind, but that Baptism is an act of obedience of the saved person.

 We believe that while participating in communion with other believers we are not only remembering the Lord Jesus but also partaking from one body and one blood that is of Jesus Christ our Lord.
