Statement of Faith

We believe in one sovereign God, existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, unbounded in power, and measureless in love; that God is the source of all creation and that through the immediate exercise of his power, all things came into being. We believe that God the Father is the author of eternal salvation, having loved the world and given his Son for its redemption.

We believe that Jesus is the Messiah and is co-equal and co-eternal with God the Father; that he took on himself the nature of man through the virgin birth so that he possesses both divine and human natures. We believe in his sinless life and perfect obedience to the Law, in his atoning death, burial, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, high-priestly intercession and his personal return in power and glory.

We believe that the Holy Spirit is co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Son; that he was active in the creation of all things and continues to be so in providence; that he convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment and that he regenerates, sanctifies, baptizes, indwells, seals, illumines, guides and bestows his gifts upon all believers.

We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are divinely inspired as the infallible and authoritative word of God. We believe that all human beings, with the exception of Jesus our Lord, are sinners by nature and practice and are in need of salvation through the grace of God.

We believe that Jesus the Messiah died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; that all who believe in him are justified, not by any works of righteousness they have done, but by his perfect righteousness and atoning blood, and that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.

We believe that as a result of our salvation we are compelled by our own gratitude to live lives of obedience and ever-increasing discipleship to our Messiah Jesus.
