We are a community of followers of Jesus who believe that the greatest thing in the Kingdom is right relationship; first with God and then with one another (Matthew 22:36-40)

​

There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4 / Mark 12:29), besides Him there is no other (2 Samuel 7:22). He is eternal (1 Timothy 1:17) and His life is expressed in three equal, unified persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).

​

Jesus is God in the flesh (John 1:1-2, 14 / Colossians 1:15-22; 2:9). He lived a perfect, sinless life (Hebrews 4:15) and sacrificed that life on the Cross that we might live free (John 8:36) and forgiven (Romans 8:1 / John 10:10).

​

The Bible is God's Word, perfect (Proverbs 30:5), loving (John 3:16) and truthful (John 17:17). It is absolutely unique (Hebrews 4:12 / 2 Timothy 3:16-17).

​

It is by grace meaning an unmerited gift, that we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12 / Ephesians 2:8,9). And with salvation comes a new life (2 Corinthians 5:17), a new heart (Ezekiel 36:36, 37) and a new mind (Romans 12:1, 2 / 1 Corinthians 2:16).

​

The Church is the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27) where we learn how to live out the love of God (Romans 12:9-10) and extend it to the world (Matthew 28:18-20). Every member has a unique calling. God has a purpose for everyone. (Ephesians 2:10)

​

The Holy Spirit has been given to believers to testify to the truth and strengthen us with power to love and obey God. (John 14:16 / Ephesians 3:14-21).
