We believe in the inspired Word of God, the Holy Scriptures,
as our authority of faith and practice.
We believe in the Holy Trinity. One God manifested in three
persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is our Father,
Creator and Sustainer of all life. Jesus Christ is true God
and true man. He is the only way to the Father because of
His unique birth, life, death, resurrection and ascension.
The Holy Spirit is equally God whose ministry is to convict,
indwell, and empower every Christian.
We believe man was created in God's image, but through
Adam's fall, we inherit a sinful nature. Personal salvation
is attained only through acceptance of Jesus Christ as
Personal Savior. Discipleship, growth, and accountability in
Christ and the Church is necessary for every believer.
We believe in God's prevenient, justifying and sanctifying
grace which draws us into divine relationship, must be
claimed as as act of faith, and is perfected through the
power of the Holy Spirit. Baptism and Holy Communion are the
outward and visible signs of this inward and spiritual
grace.
We believe in the local church. We believe in the local
church as Christ's witness to the world. We believe the
Emmaus Movement supports the local church by nurturing and
encouraging dedicated Christian leaders by promoting unity,
inspiration, and fellowship in Christ.
