We firmly know that Faith alone in Christ is what saves us from the penalty brought by sin (death). Our works cannot accomplish salvation as only Christ has accomplished that in an act of mercy by dying on the cross and resurrecting from the grave three days later.  We know that our sin nature means we deserve to go to Hell, however, Jesus' death and resurrection on the cross wipes away our sin and seals the salvation of those who have repented and confessed their faith in the truth of Jesus Christ. This is good news.  (Ephesians 2:8-9, Luke 7:50, Romans 10:9-11, John 3:16-20). 

​

We firmly know that Jesus Christ is the one true God of the Old and New Testament.  We know that God has revealed himself to us in three specific persons containing of one, holy substance:  Father, Son, Holy Spirit. (John 1:1-5 & John 5:19)

 

We know that Jesus shows hope and grace to those who need it most. (John 4:4-26)

 

We know that Jesus preaches truth and justice in the face of opposition and cultural opinion.  (Psalm 146: 7-9, Matthew 8:1-4)

 

We know that Jesus wants to reach everyone regardless of their political positions, biases, upbringings and identities. Jesus wants everyone to live rightly and justly under his Lordship, however we know that many will hear the gospel and still rebel against it.  Our hope is that we faithfully preach the gospel and Jesus brings lost people into His loving family with the help of the Holy Spirit working through us. (1 Corinthians 12:12-29, Matthew 7:13-23)
