What We Believe |
About God |
We believe in one God, Creator and Ruler of the universe, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and are one God.
Genesis 1:1,26,27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:18; II Corinthians 13:14; I Peter 1:2 |

About Jesus Christ |
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, coequal with the Father, perfect Deity and perfect man. Conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, He 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 bodily from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended into Heaven where He now sits at the right hand of God as our High Priest and Advocate. He will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

About the Holy Spirit |
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 Christian 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 under His control daily.
John 14:16,17; 16: 7-13; Acts 1:8; I Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; II Corinthians 3:17; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 1:13; Ephesians 5:1 |
About Man |
Man is made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. He is the supreme object of God's creation. Although man has tremendous potential for good, he is marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called sin. This attitude separates man from God.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53: 6a; Isaiah 59: 1,2; Romans 3:23 |
About The Bible |
The Bible is the inspired word of God to all men. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.
Psalm 12:6, 119:105,160; Proverbs 30:5; II Timothy 1:13, 3:16; II Peter 1:20,21 |
About Eternity |
Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. Eternal separation from God is Hell. Eternal union with God is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
Matthew 10:28, 25:44-46; John 3:16; Romans 6:23; I John 2:25 ; I John 5:11-13; Revelation 20:15 |
About Salvation |
The substitutionary death of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe. Salvation is a gift from God to man - it can't be earned by any amount of self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can man be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
John 1:12, 14:6; Romans 5:1, 6:23; Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 2: 8,9; Titus 3:5 |
About Eternal Security |
Because God gives man eternal life through Jesus Christ, the believer is secure in his salvation for eternity. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives this security,
John 10:29; II Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25; 10: 10,14; I Peter 1:3-5 |
