What we believe
The Old and New Testaments are the inspired written Word of God. Through human writers guided by the Holy Spirit, God gives the knowledge needed for salvation. The Bible is the supreme and trustworthy authority for doctrine, character and Christian experience, and the reliable record of God’s work in history.
We study the Bible prayerfully and test every teaching and experience by it.
