 Core Beliefs

We believe there is one true and living God whose personality and character was revealed in Jesus Christ.  God subsists in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

We believe Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, He lived as an example to the world, He died on a cross outside Jerusalem, and that he was raised from death through God's resurrection.  Jesus now lives within us and the world through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. 

We believe the Scriptures of the Christian Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, were divinely inspired and they were produced through the writing of people.  The Bible provides the theological foundation for our faith and its practice.
 
We believe Jesus Christ is the ultimate revelation of God’s Word, and that His life and teachings are the criteria for interpreting all scripture. 

We believe the Lord Jesus is the Head of the Church, which is composed of all true disciples.  In Him is vested all power for its government and service.

We believe in the transforming power of God's grace to change individual lives and the world.  This transformation begins with humanity’s willful decision to accept and follow Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. 

We believe the local church is a body of baptized believers, voluntarily united for the purpose of worshipping God and promoting the cause of the Gospel.

We believe the ordinances required of the Church are those of Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
