Statement of Faith

What we believe.

This reflects the shared faith of the evangelical churches, drawn from Scripture, in unity with the wider body of Christ.

  1. 01

    We believe in the full inspiration of Holy Scripture, its inerrancy, and its supreme authority.

  2. 02

    We believe in one God, existing from eternity to eternity in three persons equal in essence — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

  3. 03

    We believe humanity was created in the image of God, and that this image was marred by the fall into sin.

  4. 04

    We believe salvation from eternal death comes not by good works or human merit, but by grace through faith in the work of Christ on the cross — who forgives all who believe in him and grants them his righteousness.

  5. 05

    We believe that Christ, the Son of God, is God himself — fully man and fully God — incarnate to die a substitutionary death for all humanity.

  6. 06

    We believe he confirmed by his resurrection and ascension all that he promised and accomplished.

  7. 07

    We believe in the work of the Holy Spirit — convicting the world, indwelling believers, renewing, sanctifying, and empowering them for service.

  8. 08

    We believe in the believer’s belonging to a local church.

  9. 09

    We believe in the second coming of Christ to establish peace and righteousness over all creation.

  10. 10

    We believe in the resurrection of believers to eternal life, and of unbelievers to eternal judgment.
