What We Believe

Jesus is the fullest expression of God possible for human beings with Salvation only possible through Christ. The true nature of God is expressed through the Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Evil is present in the world today. Prayer has the power to change the world. We also believe that the Bible is the Word of God. The legacy that we would strive for would be a healthy Christ centered congregation, caring and supporting our precious elders. As well as bringing the Word of God to a younger, yearning generation that will build up our church.
