OUR BELIEFS:
About God: God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He is revealed to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three distinct persons but without division of nature, essence or being, and each having a distinct ministry in God’s relation to His creation and people.
Genesis 1:1, 26-27; Exodus 15:11; Psalm 139:7-9; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30, 15:26
About Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. Jesus was tempted in all ways as we are, yet without sin, He lived a sinless human life and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by shedding His blood and dying on a cross. He rose from the dead after three days in a glorified body to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Father. He will return for His bride the church. (Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:22-23; John 1:1-5; 3:16; 14:10-30; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 1:3-4; I Cor. 15:3-4; Gal. 4:4-5; Eph. 1:13)
About The Holy Spirit: The third person of the Trinity the Holy Spirit dwells within every believer from the moment of salvation. The Holy Spirit brings conviction and makes people aware of their sins and their need Jesus as their Savior. The Holy Spirit brings comfort and guidance for life. The Holy Spirit baptizes believers with power in order to witness. (John 14:16-17; 16:7-13; Acts 1:5,8; 2:4; I Cor. 2:12; 3:16; 2 Cor. 3:17-18; Gal. 5:25; Ephesians 1:13, 5:18)
About The Bible: We believe that the Bible is the inerrant, infallible Word of God. Verbally inspired in all parts and our authoritative rule of faith and practice.
(Psalm 119:105, 160; Proverbs 30:5 @ Timothy 3:16, 17; 2 Peter 1:19-21)
About Human Beings: Man was made in God’s image and likeness; by personal disobedience to the revealed will of God; man became a sinful creature, the father of a fallen race which is universally sinful in both nature and practice, thus alienated from the family of God, under the righteous judgment and wrath of God, and has within himself no possible means of salvation.
Genesis 1:27; 3:6; Ps. 51:5; Isa. 53:6a, 59:1-2; Romans 3:23; Gal. 3:11
About Salvation: We believe in salvation by grace through faith; that salvation is the free gift of God, neither merited nor secured in part of in whole by any virtue in work of man, but received only by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Once a person is saved they become a new creation, the old way of life has been put to death.
Ephes. 2:8-9; John 1:12, 14:6; Rom. 6:23; 10:9-10; Gal 2:20, 3:26; Titus 3:5
About the Church: We believe in the importance of being part of a local church; It’s purpose is to worship God, evangelize the lost, make disciples, fellowship and pray together, teach God’s Word and testify of His loves. (Acts 2:42-27)
