What We Believe
The Truths that guide our lives. It is not enough to have the right beliefs, you need to preach them and live them consistently.
About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, equal with the Father. Jesus Christ lived a sinless human life, and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world by dying on the cross. God the Father raised Him from the dead on the third day to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended into heaven and will return to earth again to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. (Isaiah 9:6, Matthew 1:22-23, John 1:1-5,14 and 10:30, Acts 1:9-11), (Romans 1:3-4, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, 1 Timothy 6:14-15, Titus 2:13, Hebrews 4:14-15)
About the Holy Spirit
About the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son. He is present in the world to bear witness to Christ. He moves the sinner to repentance. He guides the believer into all truth. He baptizes, empowers, and equips the believer with gifts and ministries. (John 14:16,17 and 16:7-14, Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 2:12 and 3:16, 2 Corinthians 3:17, Galatians 5:25, Ephesians 1:13 and 5:18)
About Man
Man was made in God's image, to be like Him in character. Man is the ultimate object of God's creation. Man's disobedience altered God's original purpose and marked man and his offspring with the "natural" inclination to sin. This is what produces man's separation from God. (Genesis 1:27 Psalm 8:3-6 Isaiah 53:6a and 59:1-2 Romans 3:23)
About Salvation
Salvation is God's gift to us that must be received. It is obtained through faith and is the work of God's grace. God gives me forgiveness, peace, and purpose and expects my faith, repentance, and obedience. There is no other way to be reconciled to God, therefore, we must give the greatest diligence to such a momentous matter. Jesus Christ must be our Savior and Lord. With Him we have abundant life here and eternal life in heaven. (John 1:12 and 14:6, Romans 5:1 and 6:23, Galatians 3:26, Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:5, Hebrews 2:1-4)
