WHAT WE BELIEVE

  • There is one God existing co-equally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God is eternal; He is the Creator and Ruler of all that exists.
  • Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was born of the Virgin Mary and is true God and true man. The Lord Jesus died for our sins and sacrificed Himself on our behalf so that all who believe in Him are justified by His shed blood. Jesus Christ rose from the dead to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended into Heaven where He is seated at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Advocate. The Lord Jesus Christ will return to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.
  • The Holy Spirit convicts men of sin and their need for Jesus as Savior. The Holy Spirit lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He guides and empowers believers and gives every believer spiritual gifts.
  • The Bible—Old and New Testament—is the inspired Word of God and it is the final authority from God. It was written by human authors who were supernaturally inspired by the Holy Spirit.
  • Man was created in God’s image—like Him in nature and character. Man sinned, thereby incurring the penalty of physical and spiritual death. Man’s sinful nature separates him from God.
  • Salvation is a free gift from God; man does not deserve it, neither can he earn it. All who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and inherit eternal life from that very moment.
  • Believers are called to a life of holiness and are sanctified (set apart) by God. Although believers can never reach sinless perfection on earth, each one should strive to grow in faith, love and purity. Together, believers form the Church—the Body of Christ.
  • There will be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous. Glorious, eternal life awaits the redeemed in Heaven; but for those who have rejected the offer of Salvation, eternal separation from God.
