What We Believe
GOD - God is the one true and living God who pours out blessings upon His children. He is the creator of all things and exists in three distinct personalities: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
​
THE WORD - The Bible is God's Word which has been revealed to mankind without error. It is the authority for our faith and is applicable to guide every area of our lives.
​
SIN - Man is a created being, made in God's image. Because of Adam's failure, sin entered the world and death was the result, causing man to be spiritually dead and separated from God.
​
JESUS - Jesus is God's only Son. He was born a human birth, offered His sinless life by dying on the cross, was raised from the dead and ascended to Heaven. He will personally return in power and glory.
GRACE - Forgiveness is provided to man by Christ's gracious offering on the cross.
POWER - It is God's Will that each believer be filled with the Holy Spirit. This includes speaking in other tongues and the operation of spiritual gifts.
FAITH - The provision of God includes healing and grace which are provided for us through the work of Jesus and received by faith in this work.
THE CHURCH - The local church is the expression of Jesus in and to the world. Every believer has an important and valuable role in the church.
