Statement of Faith

• The Bible is inerrant in all things necessary to salvation and is the final authority in faith and

• One Triune God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

• The deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, perfect life, redeeming death, and bodily

  resurrection.

• The creation of man in the divine image, man’s subsequent fall through sin, resulting in

  guilt; and the necessity, therefore, of redemption and restoration.

• We believe that the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that

  whosoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and

  saved from sin.

• The personality of the Holy Spirit by Whose regenerative work sinful man is born again.

• We believe that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and by whose indwelling

  regenerate man is enabled to live a godly life.

• We believe that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take

  place.

• The spiritual unity of all believers as comprising the Church, which has the duty to preach

  the Gospel to every creature.

STATEMENT OF VALUES

1. We trust God to do big things.

   Ephesians 3:20-21 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or

   imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and

   in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

2. We give generously.
   Acts 20:35 In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the

   weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to

   give than to receive.’”

3. We work with excellence.

   Colossians 3:23-24 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,

   knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving

   the Lord Christ.

4. We facilitate hope.
   Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so

   that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

5. We create community.

   Romans 12:5 So we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one

   of another.

6. We lead in service.

   Galatians 6:2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

   Matthew 26:35-36 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and

   you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes

   and you clothes me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to

   visit me.

7. We believe everyone counts.

   Psalm 139:13-14 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s

   womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are

   wonderful, I know that full well.
