WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe in one God who created and sustains the world. God is seen as loving, just, and all-powerful. 

• The Bible is our holy book.
• It consists of the Old Testament and the New Testament (focused on Jesus and the early Church).
• We believe the Bible is inspired by God and is the final authority in matters of faith and life

God exists in three persons:

• God the Father
• God the Son (Jesus Christ)
• God the Holy Spirit 

This concept is known as the Trinity — one God in three persons.

• We believe Jesus is the Son of God, both fully divine and fully human.
• He was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, and taught about God's kingdom.
• Jesus was crucified, died for the sins of humanity, and rose from the dead on the third day (this is called the Resurrection).
• He later ascended to heaven and will return one day to judge the living and the dead.

• We believe that humans are sinful and separated from God.
• Through Jesus' death and resurrection, people can be forgiven and reconciled with God.
• Salvation is a gift from God, received through faith in Jesus, not by good works alone.

• The Church is the global community of us
• It serves as a place of worship, fellowship, teaching, and mission.
• Practices such as baptism and communion (the Lord's Supper) are important rituals.
