OUR BELIEFS

BIBLE

We believe that the Bible is God’s word, given to all of humanity. It was inspired by God and written by human authors. It is without error and the final authority on all matters on which it speaks. The Bible was given by God through chosen people and thus reflects the backgrounds, styles, and vocabulary of human writers.

Psalm 19:7-11; Luke 21:33, 24:44; Romans 15:4; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Peter 1:25; 2 Peter 1:19-21

THE TRINITY

We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons, God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Isaiah 43:10-11; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; John 14:16-17, 16:23-27; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Galatians 4:4-6 

GOD

We believe that God created humanity to have a relationship with Him. Our sin separates us from God. This sin leads toward our death and destruction. God sent His son for us so that we have access to the hope we can only find in Him. We are made in the image of God. We will spend our whole life looking for what only God can offer us.

Genesis 1; Matthew 7:7, 12:50; Ephesians 4:6; 2 Corinthians 6:18; 1 Timothy 2:4-5; Exodus 34:5-7

JESUS

We believe that following Jesus is the most significant decision you can make in your life. Jesus Christ is the second person of the Trinity. He lived a sinless life and offered himself as a ransom for us. Jesus died on a cross and was buried in a tomb. However, death wasn’t the end. Three days later he rose from the grave, conquering death and making a way for us to be restored to God. This resurrection split history and changed everything. We receive salvation from our sin, and restoration with God by grace, through faith in Jesus, who was the substitute for our sin.

Matthew 1:18-23; Luke 24:1-8; John 1:1-5, 1:14, 3:16, 3:18, 11:25, 14:6-7, 14:9-11, 14:16; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 1:3-4, 5:8-11, 6:23; 1 Corinthians 15:3-6; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Hebrews 4:14-16, 7:24-25; Titus 2:13-14; Revelation 19:20, 20:15

HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit draws people to believe in Jesus Christ, empowering us to live bold lives as Jesus followers. We are invited to live a life of surrender to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit works within us, changing and transforming us to become more like Jesus.

John 14:15-17, 14:25-26, 15:26, 16:5-15; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-31
