My Statement of Faith

I believe that all Creation exists by the Will of God.

I believe people are meant to enjoy a living relationship of trust with God, the Creator.

I believe that the essential nature of God is love, love that reaches out to men and women inviting them back into a relationship with God.

I believe God's love was made incarnate in the person of Jesus Christ, and through his life, death and resurrection, God won for us the victory over sin and death and provided the way for our relationship with God to be restored.

I believe that each person is free to accept or reject God's offer of redemption and new life in Christ. Being reconciled with God through Christ is a matter each individual must consider for himself or herself.

I believe that the Church is the family of believers, all at various stages in the Christian journey, but united in the desire to live for Christ and do the Will of God as it has been revealed in Christ.

I believe that the Bible is the record of God's revelation to us. It is our authority for faith and practice.

I believe that Christ will come again as He promised, to establish God's perfect rule and the end of all suffering.

Affirmation of Faith

The Apostles Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth

And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord 

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate

Was crucified, dead and buried

He descended to the dead

The third day He rose again from the dead

He ascended into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty

From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead

I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.

Amen.
