What We Believe
God:The creator and Ruler of the universe. He has existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God. Genesis 1:1, 25, 27: 3:27 Psalm 90:2 Matthew 28:19
1 Peter 1:2 11 Corinthians 13:14
Jesus Christ: Is the Son Of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
Matthew 1:22-23 Isaiah 9:6 John 1:1-5; 14:10-30 Hebrews 4:14-15 Romans 1:3,4 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Acts 1:9-11 1 Timothy 6:14-15 Titus 2:13
The Bible: The Bible is God's Word to all people. It was written by human authors under the the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error. 11 Timothy 3:16 2Pter 1:20 Psalms 119:105 Proverbs 30:5
The Holy Spirit: Is equal with the Father and the Son. He is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily. 11 Corinthians 3:17 John 16:7-13; 14:16-17 Acts 1:8 1 Corinthians 2:12; 3:16 Ephesians 1:13; 5:18 Galatians 5:25
About You: You are made in the spiritual image of God to be like Him in character. You are the supreme object of God's creation and love. Although you have tremendous potential for good, you are marred by an attitude of disobediebnce towords God called "sin". This attitude separates you from God until the relationship is restored through a personal commitment to Jesus Christ. Genesis 1:27 Psalms 8:3-6 Isaiah 53:6 Romans 3:23 Isaiah 59:1-2
About Salvation: Salvation is a free gift from God to humanity. We can never make up for our sin by self-imporvement or good works. Only by trusting Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can we be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his/her life by faith. Romans 6:23; 5:1 Ephesians 2:8-9 John 14:6; 1:12 Titus 3:5 Galatians 3:26
John 10:29 11 Timothy 1:12 Hebrews 7:25: 10:10 1 Peter 1: 3-5
