STATEMENT OF FAITH

  • We believe in one God, Creator of the Universe, who was and is and is to come. Genesis 1:1
  • We believe in a triune God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit. Matthew 3:16-17
  • We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God who was born of a virgin, blamelessly carried out His Father’s Ministry on this earth and was crucified for the atonement of all mankind’s sin. Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:35
  • We believe Jesus Christ rose from the dead after three days and later ascended to heaven to be at the right hand of the Father. Mark 16:19
  • We believe Jesus Christ is the intercessor between us and God and it is through His forgiveness and atoning grace that we may trust Him as our Lord and Savior and have eternal life. John 3:16, Romans 8:34
  • We believe an abundant Christian life is rooted in an active relationship with Christ, developed through prayer and the reading and applying of scripture. John 5:24, John 10:27-29, Romans 3:23-24, Romans 4:4-5, Ephesians 2:4-5
