What We Believe

ABOUT GOD

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and are one God.
Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 3:22; Psalm 90:2Matthew 28:191 Peter 1:22 Corinthians 13:14

ABOUT JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is coequal with the Father and Holy Spirit. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will return again someday to earth to reign as King.

Matthew 1:22,23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, John 14:10-30Hebrews 4:14-151 Corinthians 15:3-4Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13

ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT

Given at Pentecost, the baptism in the Holy Spirit is the promise of the Father. He was sent by Jesus after His ascension to empower the Church to preach the gospel throughout the whole earth.
Joel 2:28-29Matthew 3:11; Mark 16:17Acts 1:5Acts 2:1-4Acts 2:17Acts 2:38-39; Acts 8:14-17Acts 10:38; Acts 10:44-47Acts 11:15-17; Acts 19:1-6

ABOUT THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the church, demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power of the gospel. The lists of these gifts in the Bible are not necessarily exhaustive, and the gifts may occur in various combinations. All believers are commanded to earnestly desire the manifestation of the gifts in their lives. These gifts always operate in harmony with the Scriptures and should never be used in violation of biblical parameters.
Romans 1:11Romans 12:4-81 Corinthians 12:1-311 Corinthians 14:1-40Ephesians 4:16; 1 Timothy 4:142 Timothy 1:5-16Hebrews 2:4;1 Peter 4:10

ABOUT THE BIBLE

The Bible is God's Word to us. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs about living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without error.
2 Timothy 3:162 Timothy 1:13; 2 Peter 1:20-21Psalm 119:105Psalm 119:160Psalm 12:6Proverbs 30:5

ABOUT HUMAN BEINGS

People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God's creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin" and need God's salvation. Sin separates us from God and causes many problems in our life.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23Isaiah 59:1-2

ABOUT SALVATION

Salvation is God's free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled lives and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9John 14:6John 1:2Titus 3:5Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1, Romans 10:9-10

ABOUT ETERNITY

We were created to exist forever.
We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation.
Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence.

John 3:16John 14:17; Romans 6:23; Romans 8:17-18Revelation 20:151 Corinthians 2:7-9
