Beliefs
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 life 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.
All are sinners and totally unable to be saved from God's displeasure, except by
His mercy.
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.
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.
God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals but as families
in successive generations according to His Covenant promises.
The Holy Spirit indwells God's people and gives them strength and wisdom to trust
Christ and follow Him.
Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people
unto Himself.
All aspects of our lives are to be lived to the Glory of God under the Lordship
of Jesus Christ.
God has given prayer both as a forum for intimate communion with Him and as a means
ordained by Him for the accomplishment of His will and the advancement of His kingdom.
