Summary and Overview

We believe in God the Father the Creator of heaven and earth.

We believe in the One and Only Son of God through whom he made heaven and earth.

We believe in the Holy Spirit of God, who reveals to us the Father in the Son

We believe in the people of God, people who believe in the One and Only Son, because God believes in his own deeply enough to value them highly enough to have given his One and Only Son for them so that they might share in his own awesome life, power and purpose.

We believe in life that is joyful, complete, and abundant, the very life of God imparted by him to all who believe. We believe this life is:

Personal in nature, possessed by each person who is possessed by God, but also
It overflows in communal dimensions so as to impart God's grace one to another through gifts of grace as we give and receive from one another in order to impart the grace of this life to the world through communities of communion and mission. Further,
Through believers so joined in communion and mission, this life will overflow in a substantial measure to impact culture, politics, economics, education and the environment so as to transform the society.
This will occur to a degree commesurate with the quality of the communion and obedience to the mission.

Comprehensive Statement

We believe:

1. In one God in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
2. That God is sovereign in creation, revelation, redemption and final judgment.
3. That the Bible, as originally given, is the inspired and infallible Word of God. It is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
4. That "from one man [God] made every nation of men," 1 and that through that one man, Adam, "sin entered the world…and death through sin," 2 therefore the whole of humanity is born into sin and death and continues to sin "and fall short of the glory of God." 3 Therefore, all are subject to God's wrath and condemnation.
5. That the Lord Jesus Christ, God's incarnate Son, is fully God; he was born of a virgin; his humanity is real and sinless; he died on the cross, was raised bodily from death and is now reigning over heaven and earth.
6. That sinful human beings are redeemed from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through the sacrificial death once and for all time of their representative and substitute, Jesus Christ, the only mediator between them and God.
7. That those who believe in Christ are pardoned all their sins and accepted in God's sight only because of the righteousness of Christ credited to them; this justification is God's act of undeserved mercy, received solely by trust in him and not by their own efforts.
8. That the Holy Spirit alone makes the work of Christ effective to individual sinners, enabling them to turn to God from their sin and to trust in Jesus Christ.
9. That the Holy Spirit lives in all those he has regenerated and reproduces the life of God in them, making them increasingly like Jesus in character and behavior.
10. That the Holy Spirit is "the promised Holy Spirit, the deposit guaranteeing our inheritance;" 4 as such, he is the essence of all that is to come at "the redemption of those who are God’s possession;" 5 therefore, the Holy Spirit now fills those who are God’s possession with that same divine energy that will usher in and sustain the eternal state, and from that same energy now empowers God’s possession with gracious gifts for ministry.
11. That while the Holy Spirit dwells in every believer, it is the privilege of the believer to receive the Holy Spirit as the Empowerer for service in a continuing synergistic relationship flowing out of monergistic regeneration.
12. In the Body of Christ, the one holy universal church, referred to historically as the Holy Catholic Church, to which all true believers belong, regardless of sectarian denominational identity.
13. That the Lord Jesus Christ will return to earth in glory and power, to judge the living and the dead.
14. In the resurrection of the dead, in which the saved who have died will rise to enter eternal glory, the unsaved to the judgment of eternal condemnation.
