What We Believe

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father is the source of all life, the Son is our Saviour and Lord, and the Holy Spirit gives new life and power. To Him alone belongs all honour, praise, and worship forever.

Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1-3, 14; 2 Corinthians 13:14

We believe the eternal Son became fully man without ceasing to be fully God. We affirm His virgin birth and His sinless life. We believe His incarnation is relevant to every culture, age, and human condition.

John 1:14; Romans 1:3-4; Galatians 4:4; Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:35

We believe the Holy Spirit is God, co-equal with the Father and the Son. He convicts of sin, regenerates hearts, indwells believers, produces spiritual fruit, and empowers the Church for witness and service.

Romans 8:26-27; John 14:16-17, 26; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18; Galatians 5:22-23; Acts 1:8

We believe the gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ: that He lived a perfect life, died on the cross for our sins, rose from the dead, and offers salvation to all who repent and believe in Him.

1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 1:16; Mark 1:15; John 3:16

We believe the Bible is God's written word, fully inspired, enduring forever, true, and without error. We believe it is understood by the Spirit's illumination and is relevant to every culture, age, and human condition.

2 Timothy 3:16; Psalm 119:89; John 17:17; 1 Corinthians 2:12-13

We believe salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. It is the free gift of God, not earned by works or human effort. All who repent and believe in Him are forgiven, justified, and given eternal life.

Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:28; Acts 4:12

We believe Jesus was crucified, buried, and rose bodily from the dead on the third day. His resurrection is the cornerstone of our faith and the assurance of our eternal hope.

Luke 24:6-7; Romans 4:25; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, 14

We believe God created the universe and affirm the historic truth of Genesis, including Adam and Eve, the fall, the flood, and the tower of Babel.

Genesis 1-11

We believe every human being is made in the image of God. We believe God created humanity as male and female. We believe all humanity is fallen through sin but redeemed through Christ's death and resurrection.

Genesis 1:26-28; 5:1-3; Ephesians 4:22-23; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:23

We believe sin is the fallen state of creation. Through the disobedience of Adam and Eve, sin entered the world, and all humanity has been affected. Sin brings death, but through repentance and faith we are reconciled to God.

Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:13-14; 1 John 1:8-9

We believe all believers form one body, the Church. We believe the local church gathers for worship, teaching, and mission.

Romans 12:4-5; 1 Corinthians 12:12, 27; Acts 2:46-47

We uphold the biblical and orthodox view of marriage between a man and a woman. We believe marriage is the foundation of any society and that sexual activity belongs within lawful matrimony.

Genesis 2:21-25; Ephesians 5:28-33

We believe baptism and communion are ordinances given by Christ. Baptism testifies to new life in Him. Communion remembers His body broken and His blood shed for our salvation.

Matthew 28:19; Luke 22:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

We believe giving is an act of worship. We believe tithes and offerings honour Jesus, support His work, and express gratitude for His provision.

Proverbs 3:9-10; Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:6-7

We believe Heaven is God's dwelling place and the eternal home of believers.

Hebrews 11:6, 15-16; Ephesians 1:20; Hebrews 3:11

We believe Hell is the eternal place of punishment for satan, demons, and those who reject God's love.

Matthew 13:42; Mark 9:43-47; Revelation 20:10, 14

We believe Jesus will return personally, visibly, and gloriously to judge, rule, and reign.

Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 22:12

We believe God will bring history to its rightful conclusion with Christ's triumph over all evil, the final judgment, and the renewal of all things.

Matthew 24:30-31; Revelation 20:11-15

We believe God will make all things new, a new heavens and new earth where righteousness dwells. Believers will receive glorified, imperishable bodies, transformed into the likeness of Christ's glorious body.

Isaiah 65:17; 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1-4
