our beliefs

God

​

We believe in one God who has revealed Himself in three persons: Father, Son & Holy Spirit. Our God created all things, including humans, to be in relationship with Himself. However, the curse of sin has broken our relationships with God, self, others, and creation.

​

​

Jesus

 

We believe that Jesus is both fully man, and fully God. As the Christ, Jesus fulfilled all the Old Testament prophecies about a Messiah who would redeem God’s people. He is "the Way, the Truth, and the Life" and salvation is found in Him alone. We believe the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are grounded in historical fact. We anticipate that one day He will return to finish the work of redemption and make all things new.

​

The Spirit

​

We believe that after accepting Jesus as Lord, God gives believers His Holy Spirit, which is His very presence at work within us. Through the Spirit, God leads, guides, and empowers believers for ministry, and believers can learn to access the Spirit's power through prayer and spiritual disciplines. 

​

​

​

The Bible

​

We believe that the Bible is the authoritative Word of God. It contains all that people in any age need to know for their salvation. We call the Bible God’s Word, believing that, by the power of the Holy Spirit, God speaks to us through this book.

​

​

​

The Church

​

We believe that God created us for community, and that He has called His people to practice their faith as part of a larger community known as the Church. In our relationships with one another, we become the Body of Christ by caring for one another, healing the brokenness of our world, and pointing people to the truth of the Gospel.
