Statement of Faith

We believe in the one triune God who exists in three persons…the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19).

We believe in the full humanity and deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His substitutionary atonement, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory (John 1:14-18; 2 Cor. 15:3-6; 2 Cor. 5:21).

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, who among his various ministries regenerates, sanctifies, guides and empowers through his gifts to all believers (1Cor. 12:4-11; Gal. 5:16-23; Tit. 3:5).

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible word of God and that it is our guide for faith and practice (2 Tim. 3:16-17). We believe that all men and women are sinners and can only be justified by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as a free gift of God (Eph. 2:1-10).

We believe in water baptism and an open communion table for all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:19-20; 1 Cor. 11:23-26). We believe in the resurrection of all men and women to a final judgment, eternal blessing for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked (Matt. 25:31-46).
