God the Holy Spirit
What we believe
The eternal Holy Spirit worked with the Father and Son in creation, Christ’s incarnation and redemption. He is a divine Person who inspired Scripture, empowered Jesus, convicts and renews people, gives spiritual gifts, equips the church for witness and guides believers into truth in harmony with the Bible.
We depend on the Spirit for conviction, transformation, truth and power to serve.
