What we believe
We believe in One God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that God created all things.
We believe that God revealed Himself to us and that He has made it possible to know Him personally.
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the ultimate authority for teaching us about life and faith.
We believe that all people are separated from God because of sin and we are subject to God’s judgement, anger and punishment.
We believe that God the Son, Jesus Christ, died on the cross in our place to take on Himself that judgement, anger and punishment and that this one time and perfect sacrifice is all that is needed in order to free us from the power of sin and its consequences forever.
We believe that Jesus physically rose from the dead and lives with God the Father in heaven.
We believe that we are saved from sin and its consequences only by believing and trusting in Jesus, which is a free gift from God.
We believe in the Holy Spirit who lives in all who have believed, repented and trusted in Jesus, that He works in us to show us what God is like and to make us more like Jesus.
We believe that He equips us with gifts to serve and build up the Body of Christ as well as to be His witnesses.
We believe in the Body of Christ, the Church, where all believers relate directly to God and are called to share the Good News about Jesus to the whole world.
We believe that one day Jesus will come back to the earth and we will see Him in all His power and glory.
