What We Believe
We believe the Apostle’s Creed as our statement of faith, which beautifully encapsulates
the basic structure of Christianity, that is: We believe in God the Father, the Son and the
Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus died and rose again to pay the price for our sins, that we
may be saved by His grace, through faith, and that no one comes to the Father but
through him. (John 14:6)
We believe in the Holy Spirit as the presence and power of God with us here and now,
leading the church, uniting God’s people, applying God’s forgiveness to our broken
lives, speaking to us, and spurring us on to godly living.
We believe the Bible is the Word of God. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of
God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
We believe that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God so we strive to be
humble in spirit, reflecting His love and grace in welcoming all people without fear of
particular burdens or sin, that we might lead others to Christ.
