Our Beliefs
We Believe...
- In one God, The Creator of all things, who reveals himself as Father, Son and Spirit.
- In Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully man at the same time, who became like us to bring about our salvation.
- In the Holy Spirit, who is active in the world, bringing us to salvation.
- That the Bible is the Word of God, giving us all we need to know about how to be saved.
- That we are all sinners by both nature and actions and need God's forgiveness and cleansing.
- That Jesus Christ died on the cross and that, but trusting in His death, we can be restored to a right relation to God and that He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven to prepare a place for us.
- That God has enabled us to turn to Him from sin but that He has not forced us to do so.
- That each person must repent, turn away from his sins, and trust Christ by faith to accept Him.
- That when we turn from sin and trust in Christ, the old record of sin is wiped clean, and we are born anew, thus becoming part of the family of God.
- That after being born anew, we need the fullness of God's Spirit in our hearts. When we make a complete commitment to Him, He cleanses our spirit, fills us with His Spirit and perfect love, and gives us the power to live victoriously.
- In the Church, the community that confesses Jesus Christ as Lord, the covenant people of God made new in Christ, the Body of Christ called together by the Holy Spirit through the Word.
- In baptism and urge people to be baptized as Christians.
- In the Lord's Supper.
- God can heal. We pray for healing. We also believe that God can work through medical science.
- That Christ is coming again.
- That everyone shall face the judgment of God with its rewards and punishments.
