Beliefs

What We Believe and Core Values
We Believe in …
  • In one God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • That the Old and New Testament Scriptures are the inspired word of God and contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
  • That people are born with a fallen sin nature and are inclined to evil.
  • That the impenitent who have refused or neglected God’s forgiveness are hopelessly and eternally lost without accepting Jesus as their personal Saviour.
  • That Jesus Christ died for the whole human race and whoever repents and believes on Him as the Son of God shall be saved.
  • That believers are to be sanctified wholly whereby the heart of the Christian is cleansed and filled with the Holy Spirit.
  • That our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.
Core Values

We Are a Christian People

As members of the Church Universal, we join with all true believers in proclaiming the Lordship of Jesus Christ and in embracing the historic Trinitarian creedal statements of Christian faith. We value our Wesleyan-Holiness heritage and believe it to be a way of understanding the faith that is true to Scripture, reason, tradition, and experience.

We Are a Holiness People

God, who is holy, calls us to a life of holiness. We believe that the Holy Spirit seeks to do in us a second work of grace, called by various terms including “entire sanctification” and “baptism with the Holy Spirit” – cleansing us from all sin; renewing us in the image of God; empowering us to love God with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength, and our neighbors as ourselves; and producing in us the character of Christ. Holiness in the life of believers is most clearly understood as Christlikeness.

We Are a Missional People

We are a “sent people,” responding to the call of Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to go into all the world, witnessing to the Lordship of Christ and participating with God in the building of the Church and the extension of His kingdom (II Corinthiams 6:1). Our mission (a) begins in worship, (b) ministers to the world in evangelism and compassion, (c) encourages believers toward Christian maturity through discipleship, and (d) prepares women and men for Christian service through Christian higher education.
