We Believe . . . .
In God. He is the creator of all things. He has eternally existed in three persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God longs for an intimate relationship with humanity.
In Jesus. He is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus came to earth in human form. He was born to a Virgin, and lived as a perfect man. His death opened the only possible door for humanity to be free from sin and to live in relationship with God.
In the Holy Spirit. Equal with the Father and the Son as God, the Holy Spirit is at work in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus. His purpose is to fill our lives with the character and power of God. Only by His full involvement in our lives can we live a sinless life.
In the Bible. It is the absolute truth of God, in written form. Penned by men, but dictated by God, to provide instructions for life that cannot be watered down, or altered to fit human agendas.
In Salvation. Every person ever born after the creation of man, has been and will be born into sin. Sin separates us from God, and ultimately brings death. Acknowledging before God, the sin in our life and accepting the forgiveness that comes through the death of Jesus, removes from us the penalty of sin. This salvation from sin makes it possible for us to live in constant relationship with God.
In the Church, a community of people forgiven of their sins now living for one purpose: to be like Jesus. As a community we are to reflect the character of Jesus by responding to the needs of those living around us, and ultimately pointing them toward a relationship with God.
In the Return of Christ. Jesus came to earth to live among men. He was crucified, died, buried, and came back to life according to God’s original plan to restore a spiritual relationship between Himself and humanity. Jesus ascended to heaven, with the promise that he would return making it possible for us to live in a face-to-face relationship with God forever.
