What We Believe
What We Believe About The Bible
The Bible is the final authority for all we believe. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17)
What We Believe About God
We believe there is one God, eternally existing in three persons (the Trinity): Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (John 1:1-14)
We believe God is the Creator of everything. (Genesis 1:1)
We believe Jesus is exactly who the Bible says He is… “God with us”. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died to bring us back into a right relationship with God, rose from the dead, is now in heaven preparing an eternal home for those who follow Him, and will one day return. (Luke 1:1-4)
What We Believe About Salvation
We believe we have all chosen to walk away from God and will justly die. (Romans 3:23; 6:23)
We believe salvation is by the grace of God, not something we can earn on our own effort. It is found only in Jesus. (Romans 6:23; John 14:6; Ephesians 2:8, 9)
We believe the biblical response to God’s grace shown through Jesus is to turn from our sinful lives, declare Jesus as Lord, be immersed in His Name, and continue to grow in our relationship and knowledge of Him by loving Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and loving our neighbors as ourselves. (Acts 2:38, 39)
We believe those who have responded appropriately to God’s grace have His Spirit living in them, directing and guiding them, and serving as a “deposit” for heaven yet to come. (Acts 2:38; 2 Corinthians 5:4, 5)
We believe life doesn’t stop here. There will be a judgment of every person with those who have decided to live with and for Jesus inheriting eternal life and those who have decided to live without Jesus facing eternal separation from God. (Revelation 20:11-13)
We believe all who have accepted Jesus as Lord are joined together in His family, the Church. (Romans 12:4, 5)
