Our Core Beliefs
We Believe
God
God is the creator of all things (Gen. 1:1). He is perfectly holy, worthy of all worship, and will punish sin (1 John 1:5, Rev. 4:11, Rom. 2:5-8).
Man
All people, though created good, have become sinful by nature (Gen. 1:26-28, Ps. 51:5, Rom. 3:23). From birth, all people are alienated from God, hostile to God, and subject to the wrath of God (Eph. 2:1-3).
Christ
Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully man, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to bear God’s wrath in the place of all who would believe in him, and rose from the grave in order to give his people eternal life (John 1:1, 1 Tim. 2:5, Heb. 7:26, Rom. 3:21-26, 2 Cor. 5:21, 1 Cor. 15:20-22).
Response
God calls everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and trust in Christ in order to be saved (Mark 1:15, Acts 20:21, Rom. 10:9-10).
Affirmations
Our Doctrine is founded on the plain meaning of the inspired Word of God found in the Old and New Testaments. (II Tim 3:14-17; I Peter 1:16-21; Eph 2:18-22; Jude 3)
We affirm the Jakarta International Christian Fellowship Statement of Faith and the Treasuring Christ Together Network Affirmation of Faith.
We are in general agreement with the systematic theological expressions laid out in the historical creeds and confessions of the Church, being particularly influenced by the London Baptist Confession of 1689.

Shepherd the Flock
Our Leadership
Since we are a new church plant, we have yet to appoint elders so for the time being our church is led by a core team that is overseen by Pastor John and an advisory team made up of elders from a few other like-minded churches.
