What We Believe

As a foundation, we believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and contains the benchmark on how to live – like Christ – as God originally intended.

There is one body and one Spirit – just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call – one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

One Body

We believe that all who have confessed Jesus as their lord and believed that God raised him from the dead are Christians and members of God’s church. This church is one body, made up of Jews and Gentiles and consisting of all Christians regardless of denomination, with each individual member having a vital role to play in the life of the church.

One Spirit

We believe that every Christian is born again of God’s spirit, the very nature of God. This spirit has been given to us by Jesus Christ and is now the grace that enables us to live a transformed life of power.

One Hope

We believe that through Christ, hope is available in every aspect of our lives. Our hope, our joyful expectation, is based on the goodness and promises of God, with the ultimate promise being Christ’s return and our eternal life with him.

One Lord

Jesus Christ died for our sins and was raised victorious by God three days later. For this reason God has declared Jesus to be both lord and Christ over all the church, and eventually over the whole earth. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we believe we are called to live our lives in service to our lord by aligning our hearts, minds, words and actions with him.

One Faith

Although there are numerous philosophies and religions that people choose to follow, the Bible contains what God would have us to believe: He desires a personal relationship with us through the holy spirit, now made available by Jesus Christ. We place our faith in God and His Word and we consider the life of Jesus Christ to be our example and standard for how to live.

One Baptism

We believe that there is one baptism, a cleansing by the holy spirit, which occurs at the time of the new birth. This baptism is in the name of Jesus Christ and the cleansing is through the outpouring of God’s holy spirit.

One God

We believe in one God, the creator of heaven and earth and the Father of our lord Jesus Christ. God has revealed Himself to us through His Word, His son and His spirit. It is God, our heavenly Father, who deserves our worship, praise, love and devotion.

We endeavor to continue growing in our understanding of God’s Word as we abide in Christ, serving and loving those within our reach for God’s glory!
