Scriptures
We believe the Bible, consisting of the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, is the fully inspired Word of God, without error and infallible.
The Trinity
We believe there is one true living God who created, preserves and rules over the universe, eternally existing in three distinct Persons – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. All equal in power and glory.
God the Father
We believe in God the Father who is the all-knowing, all-powerful, ever-present, unchanging, creator and sustainer of all things. He is the sovereign Lord over all, perfectly holy and perfectly just, supreme in love, grace, and mercy.
God the Son, Jesus Christ
We believe in God the Son, Jesus Christ, conceived by the Holy Spirit and becoming human flesh through birth to the virgin Mary. We believe in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His death (which paid for our sin through His shed blood), in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension/rising up to the right hand of the Father, and in His imminent return to earth. He now sits at the right hand of God in Heaven and is our Advocate with the Father.
God the Holy Spirit
We believe in God the Holy Spirit, who came forth from the Father and Son and now dwells in every believer in Jesus Christ to empower us to live a Christian life as an abiding helper, teacher, and guide.
Salvation
We believe that all people are sinners by nature and fall short of God’s standard, breaking His commandments, and are therefore are under God’s righteous judgment. We believe God offers salvation as a gift to all who accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, coming to Him in repentance and faith. Salvation is entirely of God’s grace and cannot be achieved through any human work.
Heaven and Hell
We believe in a literal Heaven and a literal Hell and that all those who place their faith, hope, and trust in Jesus Christ will spend eternity in Heaven with the Lord, while those who reject Jesus’ free gift of salvation will spend eternity separated from the Lord.
