Our Beliefs
We believe the Bible is a perfectly inspired
revelation of God’s character and purposes and therefore serves as the ultimate
foundation for all belief and behavior.
We believe that there is one God who exists and
expresses Himself through the three persons of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
While God fulfills different purposes through these three members of the
Trinity, He is always one God and the only God.
Genesis 1:26, Romans 1:21
We believe the universe was created by God’s command,
is sustained by His power, and is guided by His sovereign control over all
things. As a result of man’s sin, the
world has experienced significant damage and thus contributes to man’s suffering
on earth.
Genesis 1:1, John 1:1, Proverbs 21:1, Isaiah 45:7; Hebrews 1:1-3, Genesis 3:17-18, Romans 8:20-21
We believe Jesus is the Son of God who has
existed in equality with God throughout all eternity. He lived for thirty-three years on earth. He was conceived in the womb of a virgin and
lived a sinless life that was characterized by great teaching and
miracles. At the end of His life He
willingly died on a cross to absorb God’s wrath for our sin. He rose from the dead and ascended to heaven to
affirm His triumph over evil.
John 1:1-4, Matthew 1:22,23, Philippians 2:5-11, Hebrews 1:1-4, John 19:30,
Acts 2:22-34, Romans 4:25, I Corinthians 15:3,4
We believe God enters into a relationship with
all individuals who place their full trust and hope in Jesus Christ. This
saving work of God frees the believer from sin’s guilt, sin’s dominance, and
eventually sin’s presence.
Romans 12: 4-8, I Corinthians 12:12-27
We believe Jesus will return from heaven for the
purpose of reward and judgment. The
church will be brought into the Lord’s presence and live with Him forever. The unbelieving world will experience the
painful existence of eternal separation from God’s goodness and beauty.
