What we believe
We believe in one God who is Creator of all things. He is all-knowing and all-powerful. HE is unconditionally loving, relentlessly merciful, and absolutely just. And He has revealed Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ was fully human and fully God. He lived a sinless life. He died a substitutionary death on the cross. And He was raised from the dead on the third day.
We believe that humankind is created in the image of God. We believe that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. And we believe that unconditional love, unlimited forgiveness, and undying hope are found in Jesus Christ-the one and only mediator between God and man.
We believe that God is beyond human reasons and imagination, but He has revealed Himself through His word. The bible is our source of divine inspiration and timeless wisdom. We believe that the Bible is inspired, authoritative, and infallible.
We believe that the Spirit of God indwells every believer. The fruits of the Spirit are the by-product of a Spirit-filled life and evidence of spiritual maturity. The gifts of the Spirit should be earnestly sought and used to serve others and glorify God.
