Beliefs
God
We believe there is only one living and true God, perfect, infinite and eternal. We believe that God exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit.
Jesus
We Believe that Jesus is the Son of God. We believe Jesus to be the 2nd person of the triune God, making Him God. Through Jesus, God has provided a bridge between God and His creation. We believe Jesus died on the cross as a perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world. Jesus rose from the dead and then returned to heaven. Jesus promises His followers that they too will rise from the dead to eternal life.
Holy Spirit
The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit instructs, comforts, guides, sanctifies, and empowers all those who are the children of God. We believe that the Holy Spirit is the 3rd person of triune God, making Him God.
The Bible
We believe that God has shared His Purpose and Plan for the world through the Bible. The Bible is the perfect rule and final authority in all matters pertaining to the Christians Faith. We believe that the Bible is the authentic Word of God.
The Church
We believe that God established the Church and its mission is to share the Good News with all people. The Church is to worship God and to promote God’s love, joy and peace. Church is an essential part of Christianity - the Biblical definition of Church is to assemble as the Body of Christ.
Ministry
We believe that all Christians are called to discover their Spiritual Gifts and to serve in active ministry within and out of the local Church.
Missions
- Missions is defined as, "an organized effort for the propagation of the Christian faith". First and foremost, the Church is a mission organization which spreads the Gospel locally and sends and supports missionaries who are trained and equipped to spread the Gospel where it has not yet been heard - it is the function of the Church to do so at the Lord's leading through biblically appointed leaders.
- In addition to our own missionaries, we do support some organizations utilizing the criteria for selection found here.
