Our Beliefs

The Father

God is our loving Father, creator and the sustainer of all things. He is Holy and set apart in all of His ways, yet compassionate and faithful to a broken world.  It is by God’s love, and through the sacrifice of His Son, that humanity has been Embraced.

Jesus Christ 

We believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and His humanity as the perfect embodiment of God's love and grace. We acknowledge His virgin birth, sinless life, crucifixion, and bodily resurrection, which provide salvation for all who place their faith in Him. We eagerly anticipate His return to establish His eternal reign.

John 1:1-14  Matthew 1:23  1 Peter 2:22  1 Corinthians 15:3-4 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

 

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the Holy Spirit as the Comforter, Counselor, and Empowerer, sent by God to indwell, guide, and empower believers. The Holy Spirit equips us with spiritual gifts to edify the Church and transform lives. We affirm the importance of living in step with the Spirit, bearing His fruit and being filled with His presence.

John 14:16-17 John 16:7 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Galatians 5:22-23 Ephesians 5:18

 

The Bible

We hold the Bible as the authoritative and inspired Word of God, the ultimate source of truth, guidance, and wisdom. It contains the message of God's love, the revelation of His plan for humanity, and the standard for righteous living. We strive to study, interpret, and apply the Scriptures faithfully.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 Psalm 119:105 Hebrews 4:12 Matthew 24:35 Isaiah 40:8

 

Eternity

We believe in the existence of eternal life and eternal separation from God. Those who accept Christ will enjoy eternal communion with Him, while those who reject Him will experience eternal separation.

John 3:16 John 14:2-3 Matthew 25:46 Revelation 20:15 2 Corinthians 5:8

 

Sin

We acknowledge that sin has separated humanity from God, leading to spiritual death and brokenness. We believe in the need for repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation with God through faith in Jesus Christ.

Romans 3:23 Romans 6:23 1 John 1:9 Isaiah 53:6 Colossians 1:21-22

 

Salvation

We affirm that salvation is a gift from God, received by faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. It involves forgiveness, redemption, regeneration, and a new life in Christ. Salvation is by God's grace alone, not by human works. 

Ephesians 2:8-9 John 3:16 Romans 10:9 2 Corinthians 5:17 Titus 3:5

 

The Church

We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, a community of believers called to worship, fellowship, and fulfill the Great Commission. It is the instrument of God's love and transformation in the world, united by faith in Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:27 Matthew 28:19-20 Ephesians 4:11-13 Acts 2:42 1 Peter 2:9

 

Spiritual Gifts

We acknowledge that the Holy Spirit bestows spiritual gifts to empower believers for service within the Church and the world. These gifts are diverse and intended for the common good, fostering unity and spiritual growth.
