We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.(Genesis 1:1-2; John 1:1; Matthew 3:16-17; 28:19;1 Peter 1:2)
About Jesus
We believe that Jesus, the eternal Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God in order to reveal God and become the Savior of the world. (Matthew 1:22-23; John 1:1-5; Hebrews 4:14-15; Romans 1:3-4; Titus 2:13)
About the Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit exists to glorify Jesus Christ. He convicts the world of sin and indwells, guides, instructs and empowers the believer for godly living and service. (John 16:8-9, Acts 2:38; Romans 8:9)
About Mankind
We believe that man was created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him, but became alienated from that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man is totally incapable of coming back into a right relationship with God by his own effort. (Romans 3:23, 6:23, 8:9; Acts 4:12)
About God’s Gift (Salvation)
We believe God’s gift to man (salvation, the forgiveness of sins) is available only through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, His death on the cross and resurrection from the dead. This gift is offered by God’s grace as the only sufficient payment for man’s sin. (John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-10, Romans 10:9, Acts 2:38; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4)
About Man’s Response (Faith)
We believe faith is the appropriate response to God’s offer of salvation and no amount of personal goodness or human effort is adequate to earn this gift. We believe those responding in faith should repent of sin, confess Jesus as Leader of their life, and be baptized (immersed) into Christ. (Acts 3:19; Romans 10:9; Acts 2:36-38; Mark 16:16; Romans 6:4)
About the Bible
We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Holy Spirit to write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, the Bible is without error and is the Christian’s final authority in faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:14-16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 119:105, 160; Proverbs 30:5)
About the Church
We believe that the church is the body of Christ of which Jesus Christ is the Head. The members are all those worldwide who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and by making Him known to a lost world. (Matthew 16:13-18; 28:18-20; Acts 2:14-47)
About the Christian Life
We believe that every Christian should live for Christ and not for himself. By obedience to the Word and daily yielding to the Holy Spirit, every believer should mature and become conformed to the image of Christ. (Philippians 2:12-13; Ephesians 5:1; Romans 8:5-11, 29; 12:1-2; Galatians 5:16-18)
About the Return of Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus will fulfill His promise to oneday return to earth to take his people to heaven where he will reign forever as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. (John 5:28-29; Daniel 12:2; 2 Corinthians 4:14)
