Our Beliefs
God
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe, existing eternally in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and one God.
Genesis 1:1,26-27; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14
Jesus
Jesus is the Son of God, co-equal with the Father. He lived a sinless life, died as a sacrifice for humanity’s sins, rose from the dead, ascended to Heaven, and will return to reign as King.
Matthew 1:22-23; John 1:1-5; Hebrews 4:14-15;
1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts 1:9-11
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and Son. He makes people aware of their need for Christ, lives in believers, empowers them, and gives spiritual gifts. Christians are called to live under His guidance.
John 16:7-13; Acts 1:8;
Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25
The Bible
The Bible is God’s Word, written by human authors under the Holy Spirit’s guidance. It is the ultimate truth, without error, and the source of Christian beliefs and life.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 119:105
Human
Beings
People are created in God’s image with the potential for good, but are marred by sin, which separates them from God and brings problems.
Genesis 1:27; Romans 3:23;
Isaiah 59:1-2
Salvation
Salvation is a free gift, accepted through faith in Jesus Christ. Self-effort cannot earn salvation; only through faith in Christ can we be saved and receive eternal life.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9;
John 14:6; Romans 5:1
Eternal Security
True believers are secure in their salvation for eternity, maintained by God’s grace and power. Salvation cannot be lost if it is genuine.
John 10:29; 2 Timothy 1:12;
Hebrews 7:25
Eternity
Everyone will exist forever, either separated from God (Hell) or in eternal union with Him (Heaven). Both are real places of eternal existence.
Matthew 25:46; John 3:16
