Faith Statement
We believe there is one God who lives ever in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe that the Bible is the only written word of God to the world, speaking to us with authority and without error. We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate. Crucified for our sins, He rose from the dead. He will return in His glory to claim this earth for God’s kingdom. We believe that all mankind is lost in sin and needs to turn from it and trust in Jesus Christ, which is to be born anew by the Holy Spirit’s power into God’s family. We believe in unity for all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and seek community together: We want to become more like Him in every way, who is the head of His body, the Church. We are called to love Him and one another and are enabled to do this only as His life flows in and through us.
