We believe that God has spoken in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, through the hands of human authors. As the verbally inspired Word of God, the Bible is without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the ultimate authority by which every realm of human knowledge and endeavor should be judged. Therefore, it is to be believed in all that it teaches, obeyed in all that it requires, and trusted in all that it promises.
Scriptures: 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; John 1:1-16; 14:26; 16:12-15; Acts 1:16; Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 5:18; 24:35; Romans 15:4;Hebrews 4:12
We believe in one God, the creator and sustainer of all things, perfect and existing as three persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Scriptures: Genesis 1:1; Acts 17:24-28; Hebrews 11:3
God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God.
Jesus Christ is God’s one and only Son and the Savior of the world.
He was born Jesus of Nazareth, both fully human and fully divine, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for all sin, was buried, and was raised again bodily from the dead on the third day. Jesus ascended into heaven and now sits at the right hand of God, and will one day return to earth to judge both the living and the dead.
Scriptures: Matthew 1:18; Luke 1:26-38; Colossians 2:9; John 1:14; Luke 23:1-24:8; John 20:24-29; 1 Corinthians 15:3-8; Luke 22:69; Acts 1:1-9; Colossians 3:1; Matthew 24:36-42; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:10-11; 10:39-42; 1 Peter 4:5
The Holy Spirit is one with the Father and Jesus Christ and serves as our comforter, guide, and advocate.The Spirit gives Christians guidance in living, an understanding of the Bible, and intercedes for them in prayer.
Scriptures: John 16:5-15; Acts 1:7-8; Romans 8:26-27; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19 &
2 Timothy 1:14
We believe that God created the first humans, Adam and Eve, in His image and they were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations. When Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan and chose to sin, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time. In union with Adam, human beings are sinners by nature and by choice, alienated from God, and under His wrath. Only through God’s saving work in Jesus Christ can we be rescued, reconciled, and renewed.
Scriptures: Genesis 1:26-28; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.
Salvation (the forgiveness of sins) comes by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ. Salvation can neither be purchased nor earned. It is a gift from God, available only through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and received through faith.
Scriptures: Matthew 26:28; Romans 5:9; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 John 1:7
The Bible teaches that a person receives God’s grace by putting their faith in Christ, repenting of their sin, confessing Christ as Lord, and being immersed into Christ for the forgiveness of their sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit’s presence.
Scriptures: Romans 5:1-2; Luke 24:45-47; Acts 3:19; 17:30; 2 Peter 3:9; Matthew 10:32; Romans 10:9; Philippians 2:11; 1 John 4:15; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:1-7; Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:11-12; 1 Peter 3:21
The Church is the visible body of Christ, founded on the Day of Pentecost, and consists of all Christians everywhere. The Church exists to save the lost and edify the saved. Sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Scriptures: Matthew 16:13-18; Acts 2:14-47
We believe that Jesus Christ will physically return to the earth to judge all who have ever lived, and to complete history and the eternal plan of God. Jesus will establish a new heaven and new earth where we will live and God will reign forever.
Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 15:1-28
