Our Beliefs

 

About the Bible

We believe the Bible is the sole authority for our faith and lifestyle.  We believe it is God’s inerrant revelation of His person and  His purposes for all humanity.

About God

We believe in one God, yet existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe that all three persons of the Trinity are co-equal in existence and unified in purpose and fellowship.

About Jesus Christ

We believe in Jesus Christ as the eternal Son of God, who was born of the virgin Mary, died upon the cross for our sins, and rose again on the third day to lead the way to eternal life.  We believe that only through Jesus Christ can men and women find salvation and acceptance with God.

About the Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son and that His ministry is to indwell and empower all followers of Jesus Christ so that they may live godly lives of obedience, love, and joy.

About Humanity

We believe that men and women were created in the image of God but are alienated from God through sin.  We believe that on their own, human beings cannot restore their relationship with God.

About Salvation

We believe that only through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, are we forgiven, born again, and made the children of God.

About the Church

We believe the church is the visible embodiment of Jesus Christ before a watching world.  We are to bear witness through our behavior and our words that Christ died for men women’s sins.

About Angels

We believe in the existence of angels, spiritual beings created to serve God and protect His believers.  We also believe in the existence of a personal devil, Satan, who along with fallen angels, called demons, wage war against the kingdom of God.  At the return of Jesus Christ, Satan and his angels will be cast into hell forever.

About Future Things

We believe that  one day all of history will climax with the return of Jesus Christ in His glory and power.  We believe that His return will be sudden, visible, and irresistible, after which He will reign over all the earth.

About Eternity

We believe that heaven and hell are real.  The former is reserved for those who follow Jesus Christ and the latter for those who have rejected His offer of forgiveness.
