What We Believe

About God
There is only one living and true God. He is the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver and Ruler of the universe. He is eternal, infinite in holiness and perfection, all powerful, all knowing, all loving and omnipresent.  He reveals Himself to us in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes but without division of nature, essence, or being.
Gen 1:1; 3:22; Psalm 19; 90:2, Matt 28:19; 1Pet 1:2; 2Cor 13:14

About Jesus
Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, co-equal with the Father. In his earthly incarnation, Jesus lived a sinless human life in absolute obedience to God and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death and ascended to Heaven’s glory where He is the One Mediator, effecting reconciliation between God and man.  He will return to earth someday to judge the world and to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Mat 1:22,23; Isa 9:6; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; Heb 4:14-15; 1Cor 15:3,4; Rom1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; 1Tim 6:14-15; Titus2:13

About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine and co-equal with the Father and the Son.  He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ and regeneration from sin.  He indwells all believers, baptizing them into the Body of Christ at the moment of their salvation.  He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every beliver a spiritual gift when they are saved.  As Christians, we seek to live under the daily control of the Holy Spirit. 
2 Cor 3:17; John 16:7-13; 16,17; Acts 1:8; 1Cor 1:12;3:16; Eph 1:13; Gal 5:25; Eph 5:18

About the Bible
The Bible is God’s Word, His revelation of Himself to mankind.  Written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy, without error.  The Bible is God’s precious gift to us and our source of truth and our standard for living.
2Tim 3:16; 2 Pet 1:20-21; 2Tim 1:13; Psalm 119:105,160, 12:6; Prov 30:5

About Mankind
Human beings are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. God created humans, male and female, as the crowning work of His creation.  Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all are marred by a sinful nature and an attitude of disobedience toward God.   Sin separates man from God, and it is only through the gift of God’s grace that man can be brought into His holy fellowship.
Gen 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isa 53:6a; 59:1-2; Rom 3:23-25; Eph 2:8-9

About Salvation
Salvation is God’s gift to mankind, offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.  Man can never be saved by good works but only by personal faith in Jesus as Lord, who by His blood obtained redemption from sin for mankind. Salvation begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith and is eternally secure.
Rom 6:23; Eph 2:8-9; John 1:12,14:6; Titus 3:5; Gal 3:26; Rom 5:1
