Statement of Faith

I believe in...

God's love

I believe in the powerful, persistent, and unfathomable love of the one, true, almighty God manifested in the persons of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

my rebellion

I believe through my own choice, I alienated myself from the God I was created to love by disobeying and ignoring the commands and desires he has revealed to mankind in the Bible. Guilty, I was powerless to make myself right with God, to mend our broken relationship. I needed to be saved from myself.

one hope

I believe Jesus Christ, the only son of God, entered into human history, fully God and fully man, lived a perfect life, died voluntarily as a substitute for my own sins, and bore the totality of the punishment I deserved. Only he could do it, only he is God.

redemption

I believe Jesus, unbounded in power and experienced in all hardships and sufferings, was raised bodily from the dead three days after his crucifixion and burial. He offers forgiveness for everyone of my sins and gives life to anyone who believes in his name, just as the scriptures have said.

the Word

I believe the holy scripture of the Bible is the inspired, completely trustworthy, and the ultimately authoritative Word of God.

His invitation

I believe God calls me to live everyday in an all-consuming, exciting and life-defining relationship with my Creator. This journey is made possible by the redeeming work of his son, Jesus, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

redemption

I believe from the moment I surrendered my life to Christ, I attained a restored relationship with God; the gift of the Holy Spirit; and forgiveness from all past, present and future sin. By God's amazing grace, I experience passionate life in the present, loving fellowship within Christ's Church, and I will escape judgement and gain victory over pain, death and sorrow on the day Jesus returns.

More than just a creed, more than a religion, it's my hope and all that I am.
