WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT THE BIBLE…
We believe the Bible’s message is inspired by God and that it provides a clear path toward a relationship with Him. We believe the Bible is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 119:105,160; Proverbs 30:5
WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT GOD...
We believe God is the creator and ruler of the universe. That He has revealed Himself as One God in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit; and that His desire is for every person to enjoy a healthy and growing relationship with Him.
Genesis 1:1,26-27; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19
WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT JESUS...
We believe that Jesus Christ is God’s Son. That He voluntarily entered humanity by being born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life, died on a cross, and rose from the dead to pay for our sins. Forgiveness of our sins and right relationship with God are found through him alone.
Matthew 1:18-23; Hebrews 4:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-5; Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; Titus 2:13
WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT PEOPLE...
We believe that every person was created in the image of God, as the crowning glory of his creation. We believe that although every person has tremendous potential for good, we are all marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin". Because sin separates every person from God no one can regain a right relationship with God through their own efforts. Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:23
WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT SALVATION...
We believe that people can never make up for their sin by self-improvement or good works. We believe the death of Jesus Christ on the cross was the final and complete sacrifice for the sins of humanity, and only by trusting in Him can we be saved from our sins. Salvation is God's free gift to us but we must accept it.
Acts 4:12; John 14:6; Ephesians 2:8-9
WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT...
We believe the Holy Spirit is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. We believe that He lives in every believer from the moment of salvation, providing them with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. We also believe the Holy Spirit gives every believer spiritual gifts to help them to grow and serve those around them. As Christians we seek to live under his control daily.
