The Scriptures

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and that it is the supreme authority in all matters of faith

and conduct.

God

We believe in one true, living God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe that God is Creator of all things, infinite in power, wisdom and love.

Jesus

We believe Jesus is the Son of God who became flesh and is the source of all valid Christian teaching.

Through Him we are forgiven and reconciled to God.

The Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is a constant presence in our lives from which we find strength and comfort. The

Holy Spirit empowers us to do the will of God.

The People

We believe God created people in His image and that we are dearly loved by God. Sin separates our

relationship with God and we need to be reconciled through Jesus Christ. We believe God wants to have

a personal relationship with each of us.

Grace

Grace is undeserved love and forgiveness given to us by God when we believe. Through Grace we have the

power to live with dignity in the present and with HOPE for the future.

Faith and Good Works

We believe God's Grace calls for human response and discipline. We believe that after we accept God's

Grace we are to: " Do all the good we can, in all the places we can, to all the people we can".  - John Wesley

The Church

We believe the church is the body of Christ of which Christ Jesus is the Head. It is a community of faith whose purpose is to glorify God by loving Him and others.
