Our Basis of Faith

●We celebrate Christ as Head of the Church. With other Christians, we believe that God made Himself known in three ways, as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, known as the Trinity.

●We are guided in our common life together by the Bible, which is the written Word of God, the unique and authoritative witness to Jesus Christ. Where scripture is read and proclaimed, Jesus Christ the Living Word is present by the inward witness of the Holy Spirit.

●We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of Mary when she was a virgin and is true God and true man.

●As Christians, we believe that Jesus Christ is the reconciler of God and humanity. By His death on a cross, He obtained forgiveness for sin. By Christ's rising we believe he offers new life and eternal life. We believe that the Christian life begins in the power of an open tomb and the celebration of a just and forgiving God.

●We also lean heavily on the sovereignty of God, believing our Lord has a purpose in all arenas of life such as the arts, culture, the political arena, personal and societal ethics.

●We believe the Kingdom of God is both an inner personal reality and an outward community boundaried by God's grace. A strong sense of mission involvement has always characterized our Christianity.

●Our mission is to share by our words and our deeds the life and power of Jesus Christ so that all may come to embrace Him and acknowledge Him as Lord of all.

●We believe in the principle of biblical separation which calls the individual and the church to holiness, being set apart for God and from the world.
