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.
- 01
We believe in the full inspiration of Holy Scripture, its inerrancy, and its supreme authority.
- 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.
- 03
We believe humanity was created in the image of God, and that this image was marred by the fall into sin.
- 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.
- 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.
- 06
We believe he confirmed by his resurrection and ascension all that he promised and accomplished.
- 07
We believe in the work of the Holy Spirit — convicting the world, indwelling believers, renewing, sanctifying, and empowering them for service.
- 08
We believe in the believer’s belonging to a local church.
- 09
We believe in the second coming of Christ to establish peace and righteousness over all creation.
- 10
We believe in the resurrection of believers to eternal life, and of unbelievers to eternal judgment.
