OUR BELIEFS

STATEMENT OF FAITH

  • We believe that the Bible is entirely true and is the Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
  • We believe in the Trinity. (One God, eternally existing in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.) (Genesis 1:1, 26; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1-3, 4:24; Acts 5:3-4; Romans 1:20; Ephesians 4:5-6; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
  • We believe that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin and is true God and true man. (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38; Romans 9:5; Titus 2:13)
  • We believe that mankind was created in God’s image; that we sinned and became separated from God; and that all of humanity is born with a sinful nature and need of a Savior. (Genesis 1:26-27, 3:1-24; Romans 3:25, 5:12-18; 1 John 1:8)
  • We believe that Jesus died as a sacrifice for our sins; that He physically rose from the grave; and that all who believe in Him have forgiveness of sin and eternal life in His name. (Isaiah 53; Matthew 20:18; John 3:16; Romans 3:24-26, 5:1; I Corinthians 15:3, 2 Corinthians 5:21; Ephesians 1:7; I John 2:2; Matthew 28:6; Romans 10:9; 1 Corinthians 15:14)
  • We believe Jesus will return to earth and fix the world. (Acts 1:11; I Thessalonians 4:16-17)
  • We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus and we become children of God when we accept Christ as Savior. (John 3:3-5,1:12-13; James 1:18; I Peter 1:23; Ephesians 2:8-9)
  • We believe in heaven and hell as defined in the Scriptures. (John 5:28-29; I Corinthians 15; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 20:4-6, 11-15)
  • We believe that all Christians are in-dwelt and baptized by the Holy Spirit when they receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
  • We believe that water baptism is the first step of obedience after trusting Christ as Savior. (Acts 2:28-41, 47; Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 8:36-40; 10:47; 18:8; Romans 6:3, 4; I Corinthians 12:13)
  • We believe that Christians should take communion as a reminder of the death and resurrection of Christ for our sins. (Acts 2:42-46; I Corinthians 11:23-29)
  • We believe in the global church composed of believers of any race or nation and we believe in the local church, consisting of a group of believers in Jesus, baptized, and together for worship, evangelism and fellowship. (Matthew 28:17-20; Acts 2:41-42; I Corinthians 12:12-31)
