What We Believe

·        Jesus is God's son, sent by God to become human like us.  In his life and being he broke through the prison of sinfulness and restored the relationship of love and trust that God intended to exist between God and his children. 

·        We are saved by the grace of God alone -- not by anything we do;

·        Our salvation is through faith alone -- we only need to believe that our sins are forgiven for Christ's sake, who died to redeem us;

·        The Bible is the only norm of doctrine and life -- the only true standard by which teachings and doctrines are to be judged.
