statement of faith

we believe

  • First, The Authority of the Scriptures – We believe the Bible to be the verbally inspired and only infallible Holy Word of God.  (II Tim. 3:16, II Peter 1:20-21).

  • Therefore, God is one being who eternally exists as three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But all of the persons are equal in power and glory (Matt. 28:19, II Cor. 13:14).

  • In addition, Jesus Christ was wholly man and wholly (and Holy) God.  That He lived and dwelt among us as a man, but also is eternal as the sole God. (1 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 4:15)

  • All humans are sinful by nature (Rom. 3:23, 5:12) and can only be forgiven by repentance and statement of trust in Jesus as Savior (John 3:16), brought about by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:5-7).

  • The continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life (Romans 8:1-17).

  • Faith in Jesus Christ is the only way for salvation , therefore, He is the only gate into Heaven. (John 3:16 & John 14:6).

  • Additionally, the church is not a building, but it is the people that together makes up the body of Christ.  However, the universal church consists of all those who have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  (Romans 16:5, Ephesians 1:22-23, 1 Corinthians 12:13).

  • In the second coming of Christ, i.e., that Jesus will return for his bride, The Church, and we will all live in Heaven with God forever.

  • Affirm the biblical definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman
    (Genesis 2:24,Mark 10:6-9). 

  • We should demonstrate love for others, not only toward fellow believers, but also toward those who are not believers, even those who oppose us, and those who engage in sinful actions. We are to deal with those who oppose us graciously, gently, patiently, and humbly. God forbids the stirring up of strife, the taking of revenge, or the threat or use of violence as a means of resolving personal conflict or obtaining personal justice.  Although God commands us to abhor sinful actions, but to love and pray for any person who engages in such actions. (Lev. 19:18; Matt. 5:44–48; Luke 6:31; John 13:34–35; Rom. 12:9–10; 17–21; 13:8–10; Phil. 2:2–4; 2 Tim. 2:24–26; Titus 3:2; 1 Peter 3:8–9; 1 John 3:17–18)

god

We believe there is one God, who lives eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is holy, infinitely perfect, and unchanging.

(Deut. 6:4; 2 Cor. 13:14; Matt. 28:19)

god the father

We believe the Father is fully God and His Fatherhood is personal and eternal. He is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and of all who believe in Christ.

(Matt. 28:19-20; John 14:1-2, 21)

god the son

We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He is equal with the Father. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless human life, and atoned for the sins of all mankind by dying on a cross. He rose from the dead and ascended to heaven, where He currently sits at God's right hand and acts as our High Priest and Advocate. One day, He will personally and visibly return to reign as King of kings.

(John 1:14, 3:16-18; Rom. 3:24-26, 5:8-9; Rev. 20:1-10)

god the holy spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is a person, fully God, equal with the Father and the Son. He glorifies Jesus in all that He does. He convicts the world of its sin, performs the miracle of new birth, comes to live in every Christ follower and empowers them to live like Christ. Believers mature as they submit to His leadership.

(1 Cor. 2:10-11, 12:11; John 3:5-7, 16:8;

Eph. 1:13)

the bible

We believe the Bible is God's revelation to us about Himself. The Bible is written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is God's complete revelation of His plan for salvation and is our supreme and final authority in all things.

(2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21)

humans

We believe human beings are created in the image of God. However, all of us are marred by sin, both in nature and by choice. Sin separates us from God, makes us liable for judgment, and ultimately results in eternal death apart from God's salvation through Jesus Christ. Only through the atoning work of Jesus Christ can we be redeemed.

(Gen. 1:26-27; John 3:16-18; Rom 3:23, 6:23;

Eph. 2:1-3)

salvation

We believe that salvation is the forgiveness of our sins, eternal life in heaven, and adoption into God's family. It is only available through the atoning death of Jesus Christ. God desires that everyone should come to a saving faith in Christ.

(John 3:16-18, 5:24, 14:6;
Eph. 2:8-9; Rom. 8:1, 38-39)
