What We Believe

The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the final authority for faith and life,  inerrant in the original test,

infallible, and God-breathed.  2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21

 

God exists eternally in three personalities – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, yet One.  He has revealed Himself to be Creator of all things, perfect in love, and righteous in all ways.  

John 17:11; Deuteronomy 6:4; Genesis 1 & 2; 1 John 4:16; Psalm 119:137

 

Jesus Christ is God’s eternal Son.  He became fully human without ceasing to remain fully God when He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin, Mary.  He lived a sinless life, was crucified as a sacrifice for our sins, and arose bodily from death so that we might resurrect and be redeemed unto eternal life with God.  He ascended into heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God where He remains our Intercessor and Advocate.  

Matthew 3:17; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31-35; Hebrews 9:14-15, 10:14; Matthew 1:9; 1 John 2:1

 

The Holy Spirit, the third personality of God, convicts mankind of sin and judgment.  He encourages us to

repent of our sins and confess Jesus as our Lord.  The Holy Spirit lives assuredly within us, guides us, 

teaches us, and enables us to live Godly lives.  

Luke 1:35; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18; John 16:8, 13-15; 1 John 3:24; 1 Corinthians 2:10-16; John 14:26

 

Men and Women were created in God’s image, were tempted by Satan and chose to rebel against God.  

Mankind is utterly and eternally doomed without salvation through Jesus Christ.  

Genesis 1:26-27, 3:1-6; Romans 3:22-26; Acts 4:12

 

Salvation is a gift from God, received by personal faith in Christ Jesus, repentance of sin, acknowledgement of Jesus as Lord and Savior, and submission to Christian baptism (immersion).  

John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-10; Acts 2:38; Luke 13:3; Acts 10:9-10; Matthew 10:32-33; Romans 6:3-6;

Galatians 3:27; 1 Peter 3:21
