What We Believe

What We Believe

Belief Statement

GOD: There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three manifestations: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

THE BIBLE: Both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God without error in the original writings and are the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.

JESUS CHRIST: We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God. As the Son of God he is the complete and final revelation of the Invisible God and he is the only way to God. For those who believe in his name he is the mediator of eternal life.

THE HOLY SPIRIT: We believe that the Holy Spirit is God Himself living within the spirit of the believer. The Holy Spirit comes for the purposes of equipping and empowering the believer on their journey to becoming the perfect reflection of Jesus Christ.

SALVATION: The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ by faith are born of the Holy Spirit and thus become children of God.

BAPTISM:  Is an outward expression of an inward commitment to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe the decision to be baptized is up to the individual and that he or she must fully understand what it means to be a Christ follower.

COMMUNION: During Jesus’ last days, He gathered the disciples in a room and asked them to consume bread and wine “in remembrance” of Him. Two thousand years later, we regularly observe the act of consuming bread and grape juice as a community for the exact same reason—to remember our Savior, who sacrificed Himself for our sins.

ABOUT 5-FOLD MINISTRY: We believe in the 5-fold ministries (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers) to equip believers in Christ to do the work of service.
