Mission Statement

        Empowered by the Spirit of the Lord, we are called to proclaim the Good News to the poor, bring healing to the brokenhearted, and set the captives free.  As ambassadors of Christ, we will preach the Kingdom of Heaven, offering hope, healing and restoration to all (Isaiah 61:1-2).  Freely we have received grace and freely we will give – healing the sick, raising the dead, cleansing the unclean and driving out oppression (Matthew 10:7-8).

        Our mission is to equip God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up in unity and maturity (Eph 4:11-12).  We will embody the love, justice and freedom of God, advancing and serving those in need.

Statement of Faith

        Nicene Creed:   

        We believe in one God, the Father, the almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

        We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven; by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.  

        On the third day he rose again in accordance with the scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.  

        We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets.  

        We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.

        Amen
