What We Believe

We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God’s truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.

We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We believe that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God’s displeasure, except by His mercy.

We believe that salvation is by God alone as He sovereignly chooses those He will save.  We believe His choice is based on His grace, not on any human individual merit, or foreseen faith.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him, alone, for salvation.

We believe that God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations according to His Covenant promises.

We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells God’s people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.

We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people to Himself.

We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Quoted

" If Christianity is about anything, it is about forgiveness. Christianity is not about getting better. It is not about tips and techniques to help you yell at your children less, become financially secure, or become more fulfilled in life. And it is not about feeling better or about doing better . It is about being forgiven. It is nothing more (or nothing less) than a lifetime of living out the implications of our redemption, of the fact that God knows all of our failures and fears, all of our doubt and confusion, all of the hurt that we have absorbed and all the hurt that we have dished out, and yet he is still with us. He doesn’t abandon us. He loves us and he forgives us…. Christianity is about forgiveness and grace and mercy and Jesus and the cross. Our task is to believe that forgiveness (and grace and mercy and Jesus and the cross) is enough. "
