Statement of Faith

  • We believe in one God, as he has revealed himself in the Scriptures (Deuteronomy 6:4) and the divine Trinity. (John 12:27, 28, 49, 50)
  • We believe in God the Father. (John 12:27)
  • We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, the Messiah, the Eternal One. He is the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth. (John 1:1–14; Colossians 2:9)
  • We believe that the Spirit of God comforts, teaches, leads, indwells and empowers all whom God regenerates. (Acts 9:31; 1 John 2:27; John 16:13; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Timothy 1:7)
  • We believe that the Bible, composed of both the Old Testament and the New Testament, is the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16–17)
  • We believe that the Bible is a revelation of the righteousness of God and guides all to a life of living as a description of the redeemed community. (Matthew 5:17–19; 2 Timothy 3:16–17)
  • We believe that all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
  • We believe Jesus' death and resurrection atoned for all who place their faith in him. Whoever trusts in God, in his work alone, is made a new creation in Jesus, in-dwelt by the Spirit of God, and is transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of God. (Ephesians 2:8–9, Romans 5, 6)
  • We believe in justification by faith through the grace of God alone, and not by human efforts. One may not earn, merit or keep this eternal salvation by his own efforts. A new creation is the work of God alone. (Ephesians 2:8–10; Romans 8:29–39)
  • We believe that God’s grace and mercy call us to works of love and service to others as a response to God’s love (James 2:18, 1 Peter 4:10-11, Galatians 5:13-14).
  • We believe in the spiritual unity and equality of all believers in Jesus the Messiah. (Ephesians 2:11–22)
  • We believe in the continuity of God’s covenants with the Jewish people, the physical people of Israel (Jeremiah 31:35–36 and Deuteronomy 30), and that we are grafted into these covenants through faith in Jesus (Romans 11:11-31).
  • We believe that all non-Jewish people who trust in Jesus are grafted into Israel. While this does not make them Jewish, they are full and equal participants in the covenants of promise. (Ephesians 2:12; Romans 11:11–24; Jeremiah 31:33)
  • We believe in the literal, physical return of Messiah to rule and reign upon the throne of David in Jerusalem. (Zechariah 14; Revelation 19–20)
