Jesus. First and foremost.

Our core beliefs are rooted in Scripture, rather than speculation or tradition. Though we seek to be geared to the times, we are determined to anchor ourselves to the rock of timeless truth. Here’s a brief summary:
We believe God is uncreated, eternal, self-sustaining, unchanging, all-knowing, all-powerful, present everywhere and entirely wise, good, loving, gracious, compassionate, righteous and holy. This one God eternally exists as a loving community of three equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He created the universe, the world, and everything in it.
We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became fully human, without ceasing to be fully God. Primarily he came to pay the price for the sins of all people by willingly dying on the cross as our substitute, satisfying divine justice on our behalf. He rose from the dead and later ascended into heaven where he now sits at the right hand of the Father. He is the only reconciling mediator between a holy God and sinful people. This gift of salvation is available to all who turn to and trust in Christ alone as their Lord and Saviour. Moreover, he promises to personally and visibly return to earth to climax human history.
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells each believer upon salvation. Scripture calls every believer and church to glorify Christ; a calling that is only made possible through continual reliance on the Spirit’s presence, power and leadership.
