WHAT WE BELIEVE
About God
We believe that there is only one God (Deuteronomy 6:4). He is the Creator of the universe and of all people (Genesis 1-3). He is revealed to us in the three persons of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19; John 1:1; Ephesians 1:17; Colossians 1).
About Jesus Christ
Jesus is the unique Son of God, God come in the flesh; (Matthew 1:23; 3:17; John 3:16) who was born of a virgin (Matthew 1:18-25), lived a sinless life (Hebrews 4:14,15), was resurrected from the dead (I Corinthians 15), and reigns now with God in heaven (Ephesians 1:20-23). He is the Savior of all who believe and obey Him (John 3:16).
About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is God living in us. He is the divine Comforter and Counselor God sent to convict sinners and to guide Christians, in whom he dwells, into all truth (John 3:5,6; 16:8-11;Acts 20:22-23; Romans 5:1-5).
About the Bible
The Bible is the Word of God and is His unique revelation to the world. The Bible is our authoritative source for understanding God, life, and the world around us. (Psalm 119; I Timothy 1:13,14; II Timothy 3:16).
About Salvation
Salvation is the love of God restoring the broken relationship between Himself and humanity caused by sin. We believe people are lost and bound for Hell without knowing Jesus. Salvation is God’s way of bringing people back to him and is a gift from Him, not something we can earn (Ephesians 2:8-10). Our response to what God has done comes through hearing the Gospel (Romans 10:17), believing in Jesus (John 3:16), repenting (changing the way we think and act toward God and sin; Acts 2:38), confessing Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:9,10), being baptized for forgiveness of sin and the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38), and living by faith in the grace of God (Revelation 2:10). As a result we can have peace in this life and a glorious hope for an eternity with God!
