Our statement of faith is a summary of core beliefs that are central to the Christian faith. While there can be some variations across denominations, here's a general overview of the basic elements of our Christian statement of faith:

Belief in One God: We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. This God exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. This is known as the doctrine of the Trinity.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God: We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for the forgiveness of sins, and was resurrected from the dead, offering eternal life to all who believe in Him.

The Holy Spirit: We believe in the Holy Spirit, who is present in the world today to empower believers, guide them into truth, and equip them for service in God's kingdom. The Holy Spirit also comforts, convicts, and transforms believers into the likeness of Christ.

The Bible: We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, consisting of the Old and New Testaments. It is the authoritative guide for faith and practice and reveals God's will for humanity.

Salvation by Grace: We believe that salvation is a gift from God, given by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. This means that people cannot earn their way to heaven through good works, but must trust in Jesus for forgiveness and eternal life.

The Church: We believe that the Church is the body of Christ on earth, made up of all true believers. The Church is called to worship God, make disciples, and spread the message of salvation through Jesus Christ.

The Sacraments: Most Christians believe in certain sacraments or ordinances, such as baptism and the Lord's Supper (Holy Communion), as means of grace and expressions of faith.

The Return of Christ: We believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ, when He will return to judge the living and the dead, establish His kingdom, and make all things new.

Eternal Life: We believe that all people will spend eternity either with God in heaven or separated from Him in hell, based on their relationship with Jesus Christ.
