BELIEFS
There is only one true God. He has revealed himself in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God is perfectly holy and just and love. He is eternally existent.
The Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.
Humanity was created in God’s image with a free will, able to follow or reject God. Mankind chose to reject God which allowed sickness, death, and judgement to enter the world.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin, Mary. Jesus lived a life without sin. Jesus was crucified taking the punishment for our sins. He was buried and raised to life and then ascended into Heaven. Today, Jesus is alive in the presence of God the Father in heaven. Jesus is both fully God and man.
We are saved by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ. When we repent and believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus, accepting Jesus as Savior and Lord, we are forgiven and restored to a relationship with God. We are adopted as sons and daughters of God the Father. Apart from Jesus, there is no means of salvation. Jesus’ work on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy. It is God’s will that all should be saved.
The Holy Spirit convinces people of sin and their need of a savior. By the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, a person is enabled to live a holy life. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is poured out on believers to give them power to be witnesses.
The church is the worldwide body of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus is the head of the church. The church exists to continue the ministry of Jesus and to advance the Kingdom of God.
We believe in the visible return of Jesus who will come for his bride, the church. There will be a resurrection of both the saved and the lost. Heaven and hell are real places and those who are saved will be resurrected to everlasting life. The lost will be resurrected to everlasting death.
