Our Beliefs

To learn more about our beliefs and values, please read our statement of faith below.

God God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has existed eternally in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and are one God. GENESIS 1:1, GENESIS 1:26-27, GENESIS 3:22, PSALM 90:2, MATTHEW 28:19, 1 PETER 1:2, 2 CORINTHIANS 13:14
Jesus Holy Spirit
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven and will return again to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. MATTHEW 1:22-23, ISAIAH 9:6, JOHN 1:1-5, JOHN 14:10-30, HEBREWS 4:14-15, 1 CORINTHIANS 15:3-4, ROMANS 1:3-4, ACTS 1:9-11, 1 TIMOTHY 6:14-15, TITUS 2:13 The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every believer from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live through the Holy Spirit on a daily basis. MATTHEW 1:22-23, ISAIAH 9:6, JOHN 1:1-5, JOHN 14:10-30, HEBREWS 4:14-15, 1 CORINTHIANS 15:3-4, ROMANS 1:3-4, ACTS 1:9-11, 1 TIMOTHY 6:14-15, TITUS 2:13
THE BIBLE Eternity
The Bible is God’s Word to all men. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the ultimate source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. 2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17, 2 PETER 1:20-21, 2 TIMOTHY 1:13, PSALM 119:105, PSALM 119:160, PSALM 12:6, PROVERBS 30:5 You were created to exist forever. We believe that forever is spent in one of two places: eternally separated from God because of sin or in union with God because of His forgiveness and salvation. Hell is separation from God. To be in heaven is to be present with God eternally. JOHN 3:16, 1 JOHN 2:25, JOHN 5:11-13, ROMANS 6:23, REVELATION 20:15
HUMANITY SALVATION
Humanity is made in the image of God. Although God designed us to have fellowship with Him, we became alienated from God through choices of man kinds free will. As a result, all human beings are born with a sinful nature and choose to sin against God. We are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through our own efforts. GENESIS 1:27, PSALM 8:3-6, ISAIAH 53:6, ROMANS 3:23, COLOSSIANS 1:21, ISAIAH 59:1-2 Salvation is God’s free gift to you if you’ll accept it. We can never make up for our sin with self-improvement or good works. It is only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness that you can be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life begins the moment you receive Jesus Christ into your life by faith. ROMANS 6:23, EPHESIANS 2:8-9, JOHN 14:6, JOHN 1:12, TITUS 3:5, GALATIANS 3:26, ROMANS 5:1
ETERNAL SECURITY Because God gives man eternal life through Jesus Christ, the believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. Salvation is maintained by faith in the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and eternal power of God that gives this security. JOHN 10:29, 2 TIMOTHY 1:12, HEBREWS 7:25, HEBREWS 10:10-14, 1 PETER 1:3-5
