FOUNDATIONAL EVANGELICAL
CHRISTIAN BELIEFS

We are all about Jesus.

We are gospel-centered, Spirit-empowered and Bible-based. We are charismatic and want to experience the power and fruit of the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives. We love the Bible and view it as our authority.

This is a summary of essential Christian beliefs:

We believe the Holy Scriptures, as originally given by God, are divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy, and constitute the only supreme authority in all matters of faith and lifestyle.

We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three  Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, in his sinless life, in his miracles, in his vicarious and atoning death through his shed blood, in his bodily resurrection, in his ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in his personal return in power and glory.

We believe that sin has separated us from relationship with God and his purpose in our lives.  

We believe we can only be reconciled into relationship with God and be saved through the substitutionary work of Jesus who lived a sinless life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again proving his victory and power.  Salvation is received by faith and involves being born again through the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling and empowerment the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and share the gospel of Jesus.  We believe God desires to fill his people with his Spirit and that he gives us various gifts, including prophecy and speaking in tongues.

We believe that our eternal destination of either heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe every follower of Jesus is called and equipped to be a part of a church community and to serve to make a difference in the world.
