About God
We believe in one true and living God, Creator and Lord of the universe,
eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
About Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, co-equal with the Father in
majesty. glory, essence, and attributes. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life and offered Himself as the perfect
sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He was raised bodily
from the dead after three days to demonstrate His victory over sin and death,
and He will personally and visibly return in power and glory to restore God's
kingdom in righteousness, holiness, and peace.
About the Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son in
majesty, glory, essence and attributes. He lives in every person from the moment
they accept Jesus as their savior, and provides the Christian the power for
living a life pleasing to God, the ability to understand spiritual truth, and
spiritual gifts to be used in service to God.
About the Bible
We believe that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is God's Word to us.
It was written by human authors, under the supernatural inspiration of the Holy
Spirit. It is without error in all it's teachings, and is the supreme and final
authority in all matters of belief and conduct.
About Human Beings
We believe that all people are lost sinners and cannot have a relationship
with God or eternal life apart from repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ
as Savior.
About Salvation
We believe that forgiveness of sin, reconciliation to God, and eternal life
is a free gift from God, based on Jesus Christ's death on the cross. We cannot
earn our salvation by good works or self improvement. Salvation comes when a
person confesses and repents of their sin and recives Jesus as their personal
Savior. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ
alone.
About the Christian Life
We believe that once we have recieved salvation we have been born anew, and
are given everything necessary to live a life of holiness that honors God. We
are called to the life long journey of growing in our faith. We will never be
"perfect", but are exhorted to mature in our faith, which is evidenced by an
ever deepening intimacy with God and fruitful service in His kingdom work.
The Church
We believe in the universal church which is comprised of all born again
believers in Jesus Christ around the world. We also believe in the local church
which is a local group of believers who band together as a congregation to
worship, grow in their walk with God, fellowship together as a spiritual family,
and to use their spiritual gifts in unity to further God's kingdom.We believe
that the two ordinances of the church are believer's baptism (by immersion in
water) which is a public declaration of the reality of being born again, and the
Lord's Supper in which the bread and juice symbolize the body and the blood of
Jesus in His sacrifice on the cross for our sins.
The Personality of Satan
We believe that Satan is a person, who was the angel Lucifer, and who was
cast out of heaven because of his prideful rebellion against God. Demons are
those angels who followed Lucifer in his rebellion and were cast out of heaven
with Lucifer. They are Satan's forces who carry out his evil directives against
God and His church.
About the Eternal Destiny of Man
We believe that there are two possible eternal destinations for human beings
- heaven or hell. Heaven is a real place where those who have trusted in Jesus
Christ as Savior will live in the presence of God in perfect peace, goodness,
and security forever and ever. Hell is a real place where those who reject Jesus
Christ will be seperated from God and live in torment forever and ever.
