Our Beliefs

God

There is one God existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator of all things; He Omniscient, Omnipotent, & Omnipresent, He is just; loving; and full of grace. He can be sufficiently known only through Jesus Christ.


2 Corinthians 13:14, Genesis 1:1, Psalm 33:13-15, Jeremiah 23:23-24, Genesis 18:25, 1 John 4:8 and 16, Ephesians 2:4-5 and John 14:6


Jesus

Jesus is fully human and fully divine, existing eternally, fully equal with the Father. He was begotten of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He has proven Himself to be the Son of God by His deeds, fulfillment of prophecy, crucifixion and bodily resurrection.


Philippians 2:5-8, John 1:1-2, Isaiah 7:14, Luke 1:34-35 and 1 Corinthians 15:1-4


Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is a divine person existing eternally with the Father, given by God to man as his helper, intercessor, strengthener, guide and teacher. He convicts of sin, righteousness, and the judgment to come. Every believer is equipped with a gift or gifts by the Holy Spirit for ministry.


John 15:26, John 16:8-11, Romans 12:3-8, 1 Corinthians 12 and Ephesians 4:7-16


Bible

The Old and New Testament Scriptures are inspired by God, and without error in their original manuscripts. They contain a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of man, and constitute the divine and only rule of faith and practice.


2 Timothy 3:16-17 and Matthew 5:18

Salvation

Those who believe in Jesus Christ as God’s Son and our Savior; who repents of their sins and continually make Jesus the Lord of their lives; who confesses Jesus as Lord; and who are baptized by immersion; and have accepted the gracious gift of salvation by faith. Those who follow this Biblical plan can have assurance of this salvation.


John 3:16, Acts 3:19, Romans 10:9-10, Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3-7, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9 and 1 John 5:13
