We believe we were created by God to live
through God and for God. The reason we exist
is to worship God. It is not only our calling and duty but also our joy and
delight! Knowing God means living for Him and
through Him so as to reflect His
glory. This is what makes us truly human.
The central Person of our
faith and life is Jesus Christ. He is the Son of God who reconciled us to
His Father to be our Father. We are His children for all eternity.
The central tenet of our
faith is that we are justified (put right with God) through faith in Jesus
Christ alone. Our works cannot earn favor with God because of our sins. It
is not our work but the work of Jesus Christ. We are saved by
grace alone through faith alone in
Christ alone.
The basis for our faith is
the Bible, God's Word - inerrant and infallible. It has exactly what we need
to know for an abundant life here and a glorious hereafter.
We believe that through Christ, the Father has adopted us
into His family, and makes us members of His church, the body of Christ. We
are formed into a fellowship, a spiritual community. We are one body, many
members with various gifts working together with God through His Spirit to
bring all the members to Christ-like maturity, and as many as He calls to
servant-leadership.
God is working throughout the world and we are part of it!
God has blessed our church to partner with many missionaries in different
parts of the world. The Word of His Son, Jesus Christ is sounding forth. We
believe this is an important part of our obedience to Jesus Christ as He
gave command. "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations!" (Matt
28:18-20) It is also a great source of our joy to hear and see how others
are discovering the Pearl of Great Price!
