God
We believe in one perfect, eternal God, creator of all things, self existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Bible Verses: Deut. 6:4; Isa. 43:10-11; Matt. 28:19; Luke 3:22; 2 Cor. 13:14.
Jesus Christ
We believe in Jesus Christ who was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as the sacrifice for our sins. He arose from the dead and ascended to heaven where, at the right hand of God the Father, He is now our advocate. He will return in glory to judge the living and the dead as the eternal Son of God.
Bible Verses: Luke 1:35; 1 Cor. 15:3-4; Rom. 4:25; Acts 4:12; 1 Tim. 2:5.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit whose ministry is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and to convict, regenerate, seal, indwell, guide, impart gifts, instruct and empower believers for life and service.
Bible Verses: 1 Cor. 12:4-11; John 14:26; 1 Cor. 3:16; Eph. 1:13-14.
Scripture
We believe in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, the complete written revelation of His will for man, and the Divine and final authority for faith and life.
Bible Verses: 2 Tim. 3:16; 1 Thess. 2:13; Psalm 12:6.
Mankind
We believe mankind was created in the image of God, chose to sin, and is spiritually lost without God.
Bible Verses: Gen. 1:26-27; Rom. 3:23, 5:14; Eph. 2:1-3.
Salvation
We believe the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only grounds for salvation of mankind. All who receive Jesus Christ as Savior are born of the Holy Spirit and become children of God. Salvation is a gift that cannot be earned.
Bible Verses: John 3:3-5; Titus 3:5; Acts 2:38; Eph. 2:8-10; Rom. 8:16.
Church Ordinances
We believe water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are commanded by our Lord Jesus and are to be observed by the church. They are not to be regarded as means of salvation.
Bible Verses: Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4; 1 Cor. 11:23.
The Church
We believe God’s Church is composed of everyone who has been reborn through faith in Jesus Christ. The purposes of the Church are to worship God, to be equipped by God’s Word and the Holy Spirit to minister and to serve, and to reach out to a spiritually lost world.
Bible Verses: 1 Cor. 1:2; Eph. 1:22-23, 2:19-22, 4:4-6; 1 Pet. 2:5-10.
Satan
We believe in the existence and personality of Satan. We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ triumphed over Satan by His death and resurrection.
Bible Verses: Matt. 4:1-11; 1 Pet. 5:6; 1 Tim. 3:6; 1 John 3:8; Rev. 20:2.
Christ’s Return and Judgement
We believe our Lord Jesus Christ will return to earth to judge all mankind. Those who have accepted Christ as their Savior will have everlasting joy with the Lord while unbelievers will face eternal separation from God.
Bible Verses: 1 Thess. 4:13-18; John 5:28-29; Rev. 20:11-15.
