The faith statment:

In this church we accept and believe that the sixty six books in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation are the inspired and inerrant Word of God. We believe and accept that there is only one GOD who revealed himself to us as God the Father, God the Son and God the HolySpirit. /The triune God/ We believe that Jesus Christ is fully human and fully divine, who was born of virgin Mary, suffered under Pilot Pilatos, crucified, died, buried, decsended to hell, raised from the dead on the third day, ascended to heaven, sits at the right hand side of the father and who will come from there to judge the living and the dead. We believe in the works and gifts of the Holy Spirit that He works in the life of believers and gives gifts to the church for the purpose of the expansion of the kingdom of God. We believe and confess that salvation is attained only through faith in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. We believe in the resurrection of the dead and life after death.
