ABOUT GOD
We believe in one God who has expressed himself in personal ways. We know God’s personality as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
We believe in Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, who is co-equal with the Father. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died and buried. He arose from the dead three days later to demonstrate His power. He ascended into Heaven and will return again to earth to reign.
ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the Holy Spirit who is co-equal with the Father and with the Son of God. The Holy Spirit is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. The Holy Spirit is our 24/7/365 life guide who gifts us, guides us and empowers us to be and to do Jesus as we walk the path of life.
ABOUT THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible is God’s Word to us, communicating God’s inerrant saving message and revealing the will of God concerning all things necessary to our salvation and Christian living.
ABOUT HUMAN BEINGS
We believe that people are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like God in character. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin” (i.e., we struggle with a “downward pull” in life).
ABOUT SALVATION
We believe that salvation 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, but only by entrusting our entire beings to Jesus Christ as Lord of our life. By turning from our own selfishness and entrusting ourselves to Jesus Christ, we experience a new life, being freed from the old patterns of self-destructive acts called sin.
ABOUT HOLINESS
We believe that God calls us to live a life of holiness alongside God. Holiness in the life of the Christian is most clearly understood as Christ-likeness. We believe that God gives us the power—through God’s Holy Spirit—to say no to sin and yes to God in all things and “sanctifies” us on a daily basis so that we can be and do Jesus in every way and every day.
ABOUT ETERNITY
We believe that there is a Heaven and Hell. We believe that those who follow God will live in right relationship with God and all other God-followers in Heaven forever and that those who reject God will live in broken relationship with God and with all non- God-followers in Hell forever. We experience a taste “Hell” on earth when we are living in broken relationship, and we experience a taste of “Heaven” on earth when we are living in right relationship.
ABOUT BAPTISM
We believe that Christian baptism, commanded by our Lord, is a sacrament-signifying acceptance of the benefits of Jesus Christ, is to be administered to believers and is declarative of their faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior.
ABOUT LORD’S SUPPER
We believe that the Lord’s Supper instituted by Jesus Christ is a sacrament and is declarative of Christ’s sacrificial death and resurrection. The Lord’s Supper is for those who are prepared for reverent appreciation of its significance and who have faith in Christ.
DIVINE HEALING
We believe in the Biblical doctrine of divine healing and urge our people to seek to offer prayer of faith for the healing of the sick. We also believe God heals through the means of medical science.
