What we believe

  • God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.  

  • Jesus is coequal with the Father and Holy Spirit. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven’s glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. 

  • 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 influence daily. 

  • People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin”. Sin separates us from God and causes all forms of human brokenness.

  • 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 supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.

  • The Church is the community of God's people. This community is centered on worshiping Jesus, studying His teachings, and demonstrating His love to the surrounding world. It is the gathering of individuals who support one another in times of joy and hardship, unified in the mission to help all people find their way back to a real relationship with God, which was broken by sin.

  • All humanity is sinful, meaning we have broken God's law and are separated from Him. In His great love, God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, who lived a sinless life and died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for our sins. The Gospel is the message that salvation from sin and the promise of everlasting life are received not through religious works, but through personal faith and trust in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross. This faith results in a personal relationship with Christ, who comes to live in the heart of the believer.

  • 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. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with Him is heaven. Heaven and hell are literal places of eternal existence.

  • Salvation is a gift from God to man. Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting 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. For we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. 

  • Jesus’ death on the cross and subsequent resurrection from the dead three days later is the foundation for all Christian faith. Baptism is a timeless and physical reminder of what Jesus did for us. It is the way the Christian publicly declares their faith in Jesus Christ as a result of the salvation of their souls. This act of obedience is an external symbol of spiritual rebirth and newness to life.
