Our Beliefs

Our Beliefs

Scripture

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.

God

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

Sin

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

Salvation

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.

Jesus

We believe that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man. Through his perfect life, sacrificial death, and bodily resurrection He atoned for the sins of all who trust in Him alone for salvation.

Holy Spirit

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

Christian Life

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

Covenant Families

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.

Christ’s Return

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