As an independent Protestant church, we hold
to the Apostles’ Creed
and affirm the Statement of Faith of the Evangelical Alliance
as well as the Lausanne Covenant.
We believe…
He is Creator and Ruler of the world. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is holy, all-powerful, all-present, all-knowing, never-ending, unchanging, truthful, determined, and good. God is love.
the eternal Son of God and virgin-born Son of man, who entered human history and lived a sinless life. Through his death on the cross, he took the punishment of our sin upon himself, triumphed over evil, and reconciled us with God. We believe in his bodily resurrection, his physical ascension into heaven, and his visible return in glory.
who is at work in this world and consistently points to Jesus. He leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ, seals our salvation, guides us into understanding, fills us with power, and equips us with spiritual gifts for our ministry in the church and in the world. He is at work to this day in tangible, healing, life-giving and wonderful ways.
that they were created male and female in the image of God to flourish in relationship with him. However, because of a willful attitude of disobedience, which we call sin, people are separated from God.
that it is is offered to us by grace alone and gifted to us by faith alone. We cannot earn our salvation through religious rituals, good works, or moral efforts. But by confessing Jesus Christ as Lord and trusting in Him as God’s offer of forgiveness, we are saved, and nothing can ever separate us from the Father.
that there is more to come after death. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with him is heaven. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence.
that it is God’s Word. It is inspired by Him, absolutely trustworthy, and as supreme source of truth our authority for our life with God and others.
that it is the family of God in which all believers are joined together to worship God, encourage one another, grow in maturity, serve others, and share the Good News. The believer’s baptism and Communion are symbols of our union with Christ.
that as believers joyfully abide in Jesus, they adopt a counter-cultural vision for human flourishing. When it comes to money, Christians pursue generosity by sharing with others; when it comes to power, Christians pursue selflessness by serving others; and when it comes to sex, Christians pursue purity by honouring the sanctity of marriage. Christ’s design for marriage is to be between one man and one woman for life.
