Our Beliefs
GOD
We believe in the one living and true God who eternally exists in three distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, all having the same nature, attributes, and perfections. (Matthew 28:18-19; Mark 12:29; John 1:14; Acts 5:3-4; 2 Corinthians 2:13, 10:11; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21)
FATHER
God is a supernatural being who has always existed, as well as a personal God who created all people and desires a relationship with them. He is the ruler of all creation who created the universe and everything in it. At the same time, he is involved in our lives and hears and answers prayer. He is perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love. (Genesis 1:1; Psalm 89:26; Isaiah 9:6; John 6:27, 45-46; I Corinthians 8:6; II Corinthians 1:3; Galatians 4:6; Ephesians 5:20; Matthew 28:18-19; Mark 12:29; John 1:14; Acts 5:3-4; 2 Corinthians 2:13, 10:11; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21)
SON
SON
Jesus Christ is God’s only begotten Son, born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe he lived a sinless life, and in his miracles, teachings, and that He offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by his death on a cross. He rose from the dead three days later as a sign of his power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven and will return to earth to reign as Lord and King. (Ephesians 4:1-8; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; I John 5:20; Isaiah 53:3-12)
HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is present in the world to be our advocate and make people 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. (John 14:16-17, 26, 15:26, 16:7-14; Galatians 5:18, 22-25; Acts 1:8; I Corinthians 6:19-20)
BIBLE
The Bible is God’s Word to all people, written by human authors through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is entirely trustworthy in all that it teaches and reveals. It is the foundational source of truth and authority for all Christian beliefs, and it is living and active in our lives. (John 17:17; II Timothy 3:16-17; Psalm 119:105; Proverbs 30:5)
CHURCH
The Church is composed of all people who trust in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Believers are united together in the “Body of Christ,” of which Jesus is the head. We believe we are on this earth to be a light in the darkness, and to share the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ to all people. (Romans 12:5; I Corinthians 12:12-28; Ephesians 3:6, 4:11-16, 5:23) (Matthew 28:18-19; Mark 12:29; John 1:14; Acts 5:3-4; 2 Corinthians 2:13, 10:11; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21)
