Our Beliefs (Statement of Faith)
1. The only true God, the almighty Creator of all things, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
2. Jesus Christ, fully human and fully divine, who lived as a perfect example, who assumed the judgment due sinners by dying in our place, and who was bodily raised from the dead and ascended as Savior and Lord.

4. The indwelling presence and transforming power of the Holy Spirit, who provides all believers with new life, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in treating others as we would like to be treated.
5. The value and dignity of all people - created in God's image, embracing diversity, living in love with Him and others.
6. The unity of all believers in Jesus Christ, manifest in worship and spreading God's word through love, study and action throughout the world.
