Our Beliefs
JESUS CHRIST
We believe Jesus Christ is at the center of everything. We believe that Jesus is the only one who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life. We believe that Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised. (Hebrews 7:27; 1 Peter 2:22; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:39; Acts 1:11)
THE TRINITY
We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. (1 John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 3:7-11)
The bible
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives. In its original writing, the scriptures are infallible, inerrant, and inspired. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-26)
THE SEPARATION
We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives. The only way to restore the relationship is through forgiveness offered by Jesus Christ, making us right before God. (Romans 5:12-19; Genesis 1:26-27)
salvation
We believe we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. We cannot earn our salvation. We cannot be morally upright and good enough to deserve salvation. Salvation is a free gift made possible by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Romans 10:9-10; Titus 3:5-7)
The baptism in the holy spirit
We believe the baptism in the Holy Spirit is a free gift given to all believers which will strengthen them to live boldly as witnesses for Christ. (Acts 1:8, 2:4, 19:1-7)
THE CHURCH
We believe in the power and significance of the universal Church and its mission to reach the world for Christ. The Church is to make disciples, worship God, and provide Christlike works of compassion to all peoples. (Mark 16:16-16; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 4:11-16; James 1:27)
The Sacraments
We believe there are two practices or sacraments universal to every Christian: water baptism after salvation and holy communion. (Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47-48; 1 Corinthians 11:26)
