What We Believe                                                                      

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe.  He has eternally existed in three personalities: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  These three are co-equal and are one God. 

Jesus Christ is the Son of God.  He is co-equal with the Father.  Jesus was conceived by God the Father through the virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Jesus lived a sinless life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross.  He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death and to reconcile us to the Father.  He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again some day to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The Bible is God’s Word to us.  It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit.  It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.  Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error.

People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character.  People are the supreme object of God’s creation.  Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience towards God called ‘sin.’  This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life.

Salvation by Grace is God’s free gift to us but we must accept it.  We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works.  Only by trusting in the shed blood of Jesus Christ, as God’s offer of forgiveness, can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty of eternal separation from God.  When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus, we are saved by faith through the grace of God.  Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

Eternity is for everyone.  People were created to exist forever.  We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation.  To be eternally separated from God is hell.  To be eternally in union with God is life in Heaven.  Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.

The Church is the Body of Christ, the dwelling place of God through His Holy Spirit.  Every person who is born again by the Spirit is an integral part of the church as a member of the Body of believers.  The Church is commissioned to carry the Gospel into the world.  There is a spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
