WHAT WE BELIEVE
GOD
There is only one true God, who has always existed as Father, Son, and Spirit – the Triune God. Our words cannot adequately describe Him, but He is sovereign, He is love, He is holy and fully deserving of our worship.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 29:19; John 5:23; Genesis 1:1; 1 John 2:2; Romans 15:13
JESUS CHRIST
Jesus is the Son of God, was born of the virgin Mary, sinless, died on the cross for our sins, was raised from the dead on the third day, reigns as our Lord, and is coming again.
1 John 5:20; Matthew 1:23; Ephesians 1:7; Galatians 3:13; Hebrews 4:15; Romans 1:4; Acts 10:42
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is true God equal to god the Father and God the Son. He creates faith in our hearts through the gospel. He also keeps us in the faith and motivates us to do good works.
Acts 5:3; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Psalm 139:7, 8; Job 33:4; Titus 3:5; Ephesians 3:16; Galatians 5:24,25
THE BIBLE
The Bible is the true word of God. It is inspired by the holy Spirit. It is the standard by which we should live our lives.
2 Peter 1:21; 1 Corinthians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Timothy 3:15; Luke 11:28; John 5:39
THE CHURCH
There is one holy, Christian Church. It is made up of all who believe in Jesus.
Colossians 1:15-18; Acts 20:28; Matthew 16:18; 2 Timothy 2:19; John 8:31,32
SALVATION
God wants all men and women to be saved by his grace, according to their faith as prescribed in his Word. We believe that anyone can be saved through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is a gift from God, and cannot be earned through our efforts.
Ephesians 2:8; 2 Corinthians 5:19; Romans 3:22-24; Romans 3:28; Acts 4:11-12; 1 Timothy 2:3-4; Acts 2:36-38
