When reading through our statement of faith, we pray that you will not only have a better understanding of what we believe about God, the Bible, and our responsibility to God and to one another, but that you will remember that we are not a body of believers who insist that you must believe what we believe in order to have a meaningful relationship with God or with us.

We Believe the entire Bible is inspired by God, without error and is the authority on which we base our faith, conduct and doctrine (2 Timothy 3:16-17). 

We Believe the Bible is the complete revelation of God's will for the salvation of men and supplies each person with the insight and wisdom to live a life that is pleasing to God (2 Peter 1:3).

We Believe in one God, Creator of all things (Genesis 1:1; John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:16), infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (1 John 5:7; Romans 8:9-11; Ephesians 4:4-6; Matthew 28:19).

We Believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man (John 1:14), having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary (Luke 1:35). He died on the cross, a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures (Romans 5:8). Further, He arose bodily from the dead Romans 10:9-10), ascended into heaven (Acts 1:9), where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate (1 John 2:1-2).

We Believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ (John 16:14), to convict men (John 16:8), to regenerate the believing sinner (John 3:8), and to indwell, guide, instruct, empower & baptize the believer for Godly living and service (Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 12:13).

We Believe that man was created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), but fell into sin (Genesis 3:1-7), and is, therefore, lost, and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.

We Believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification (Romans 5:9), and salvation for all who believe (John 3:16), and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit (John 3:5), and, thus become children of God (Galatians 3:26).

We Believe that water Baptism (Matthew 28:19-20) and Communion (Luke 22:14-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26), are ordinances to be observed by the Church. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation. Baptism and Communion have been sacred rituals practiced throughout the history of the Orthodox Christian faith, by those who trust in Jesus alone for their salvation. The term that is most often used to describe this practice is sacrament, which refers to an outward, visible sign of an inward, invisible spiritual reality.

We Believe that the true Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ of which He is the Head.

We Believe that the true basis of Christian fellowship is His Love for us (John 15:13), and our love for one another (John 13:34-35), which is greater than any differences we possess.

We Believe that our faith should lead us to grow in our love for God (Matthew 22:37), grow in our love for one another (John 13:34-35), and reach out to the world for Jesus in obedience to His last command (Matthew 28:18-20).

We Believe every believer should be in a growing relationship with Jesus, and this can only take place by obeying God's Word (John 17:17; Romans 12:2), and yielding to the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14), and by being conformed to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29).

We Believe as children of God, we are overcomers and more than conquerors (Romans 8:37), and that God intends for every believer to experience victory in their lives (Romans 8:28-31).

We Believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again, which is known as the Second Coming (Matthew 24:30; 25:31: Revelation 19:11-21), where He will separate His people known as "the sheep" (Matthew 25:31-40), from those who did not yield to His authority in this life, known as "the goats" (Matthew 25:41-46). It is at this point that we will be able to spend eternity with Christ (Matthew 25:34), and for those who reject His authority, they will spend eternity apart from Christ (Matthew 25:46). This "Blessed Hope" has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of each believer (2 Corinthians 5:10-11).
