We believe in the one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as revealed in the Bible and made known in Jesus Christ our Lord. We believe that Jesus the divine Son became human, was born of a virgin, ministered in word and miracle, died for our sin, was raised bodily from the dead, ascended to God's right hand and is coming again for his people. We believe that the Holy Spirit is presently ministering through the Christian Community, empowering lives of purpose, godliness and service. We believe that the Bible is completely God-breathed, true in all its teaching and the final authority for all matters of faith and practice. We believe that Jesus Christ established his Church on earth to carry out his saving mission among all ethnic people groups and formed the Church to be One Holy People. We believe in God's saving grace that calls forth from all people: faith, repentance, confession, baptism and new life and ministry through the Holy Spirit. We commit ourselves to the teaching, practice and defense of these truths until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We fully commit ourselves to the Great Commission and the Great Commandment as instructed by our Lord Jesus Christ. |
