Statement of Faith
The Bible
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God revealing the love of God to the world (1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15–17; John 3:16).
Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory (Matthew 1:23; John 1:1–4, 29; Acts 1:11; 2:22–24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5–11; Hebrews 1:1–4; 4:15).
Salvation and Judgement
We believe that all men everywhere are lost and face the judgment of God, that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, and that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. Furthermore we believe that God will reward the righteous with eternal life in Heaven, and that He will banish the unrighteous to everlasting punishment in Hell (Luke 24:46–47; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 2 Corinthians 5:10–11; Ephesians 1:7; 2:8–9; Titus 3:4–7).
Holy Spirit
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life (John 3:5–8; Acts 1:8; 4:31; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Galatians 5:16–18; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:6–10).
The Resurrection
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment (1 Corinthians 15:51–57;Revelation 20:11–15).
The Church
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the church (1 Corinthians 12:12, 27; Ephesians 1:22–23).
Evangelism and Discipleship
We believe that the ministry of evangelism (sharing and proclaiming the message of salvation only possible by grace through faith in Jesus Christ) and discipleship (helping followers of Christ grow up into maturity in Christ) is a responsibility of all followers of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18–20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9–15; 1 Peter 3:15).
The Christian Life
We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord, to His authority over our lives, and to the ministry of evangelism and discipleship (Matthew 9:35–38; 22:37–39; 28:18–20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9–15; 12:20–21; Galatians 6:10; Colossians 2:6–10; 1 Peter 3:15).
