Statement of Faith

We believe that God the father loves all people and has sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God and proved that He is fully man and fully God through His death on the cross and resurrection from the dead.

On His ascension to Heaven, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to indwell all believers and bring conviction of sin, righteousness and judgement. Believers are gifted by Him to further the Gospel.

Jesus Christ will visibly and bodily return to earth to gather those who believe in Him.

The Bible is the infallible Word of God and is without error.

What We Believe:

The core statement of our faith is outlined in the Nicene Creed.
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments contain all things necessary to salvation and are the rule and ultimate standard of faith. No one is required to accept as an article of faith anything that is not plainly taught in Holy Scripture.
We can have a right relationship with God only through the merit of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and not through our own works or merits.
