What we beleive
The Bible
The Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is true in all that it teaches. As the flawless Word of God, it is our only authority for what we believe and how we live.
( 2 Tim 3.15-17 )
God and Jesus Christ
There is only one God. The One God has revealed Himself to us as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that is, the One God manifested in and through authentic human life. To see Jesus is to see God.
( Deut 6.4; John 14.9; Eph 4.4-6; Col 2.9; 1 Tim 3.16 )
Water Baptism
We believe that our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is expressed by calling on His name in the waters of baptism. Water baptism is an act of obedience identifying with Jesus in death to sin, the burial of the old nature, and resurrection to new life.
( Hebrews 10:23-25; Acts 2:42 47; 1 Corinthians 12:12-26; )
Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is active in the world today and that the baptism of the Holy Spirit and His accompanying gifts and the life characteristics produced by His indwelling, are the privileges of all New Testament believers. Jesus spoke of two types of baptism-water baptism and Spirit baptism. Jesus Himself was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. After His water baptism, the Spirit descended upon Jesus. We should follow the example of Jesus and be baptized in water and in the Holy Spirit.
( Mark 1:7-11; John 14:16-18; Acts 1:5; )
The Church
We believe the church has been called out of the world to be a group of people who follow Jesus Christ fully and love one another sacrificially. We believe the church, through the power of the Holy Spirit, is called to affect genuine spiritual change in the community. We believe the local church is the hope of the world! The church is called to be one group of people made up of many members; all using their talents and abilities for the cause of Christ.
( Hebrews 10:23-25; Acts 2:42 47; 1 Corinthians 12:12-26; )
