Beliefs :
We believe in one God who has expressed himself in personal ways. We know God's
personality as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe the Bible communicates God's saving message and is our reliable
authority in all matters related to faith and Christian living.
We believe that all humankind struggles with a downward pull.
We believe that unless we experience God's help and salvation through a faith
commitment to Jesus Christ, our future is one of eternal separation from God and
all that is good.
We believe the love and grace of God is extended to every person in the
provision Jesus Christ made in his death and resurrection. By turning from our
own selfishness and trusting Jesus Christ, we experience a new life, being freed
from the old patterns of self-destructive acts called sin.
We believe our new life in Jesus Christ is the gateway to transformation.
Following our moment of faith in Jesus, we believe there is another moment in
which we present our life completely to Christ in order to live under his
authority and to experience his transforming power.
We believe that Christian experience is more than a change of mind. It is
accompanied by assurance that is grounded in both the Scriptures as well as the
inner witness of God's Spirit.
We believe that all who live for Jesus Christ have an eternal future. Our belief
in such a future includes both the fulfillment of God's creative purpose as well
as the accountability of all persons endowed with the power of choice.
