What do you Believe?

We believe in the authority of the eternal Holy Scripture and its divine inspiration, both in the past and for the future.
We believe in the original perfection of creation, the inherent corruptness of humanity through the Fall, the necessity of repentance and restoration by grace and through faith in Christ alone, and the unfortunate eternal separation of the unrepentant from God.

We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit for the building up of the church and ministry to the world.
