To develop spiritual friendships with seekers and skeptics
and to be transformed together into
relevant, loving, devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

WE BELIEVE:

- the Holy Bible was written by men who were inspired and empowered by God's Spirit.

- the truth about God and His will as it is revealed in the Holy Bible.

WE BELIEVE:

- there is one God, eternally existing as Father, Son & Holy Spirit, who is the Creator of the universe.

- Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived by the power of God's Spirit - the Holy Spirit - and was born of the Virgin Mary; he is true God and true man.

- the Lord Jesus Christ is the long awaited Jewish Messiah.

- the Lord Jesus Christ lived a sinless life was crucified, suffered and died for the sins of humankind; to redeem them back unto God.

- He was buried and on the third day He rose from the dead.

- He ascended into Heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father and we look forward to Christ's return to earth to judge the living and the dead.

- through His life, death and resurrection, Jesus Christ is our only hope for a full life on earth and eternal life.

- that humankind was created in the image of God, that they sinned and incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.

- by accepting Jesus Christ through faith, we receive forgiveness for all our sins and are redeemed back into eternal relationship with God as His children.

- God gives humanity His Spirit who convicts us of sin, teaches us, and empowers us to live each day Christ-like.

WE BELIEVE:

- in the fellowship of believers, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of our bodies, and everlasting life with our loving caring God.

- that God has compassion for all people and we strive, following in Jesus Christ's example, to love everyone as He does.

- in and participate in water baptism and communion which express - respectively - our dying and resurrection with Christ; and our remembrance of what Christ has done for us through his passion.
