Core Beliefs
GOD
We believe that God is eternal and has revealed Himself as ONE God existing in THREE persons within the Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
(Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14)
JESUS
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of humanity, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, fully God and fully man.
(Luke 1:26-35; John 1:18; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6)
We believe Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again on the third day, and personally appeared to His disciples.
(I Corinthians 15:1-8; Romans 4:25)
We believe Jesus ascended to Heaven and will come to Earth again for the Church.
(John 14:2,3; I Thessalonians 4:13-18)
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells all believers, and through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, believers are empowered for Christian service and gifted for this service.
The Holy Spirit also enables believers to live a Christ-like life exhibiting godly character.
(Luke 11:13; Acts 1:8, 2:1-4, 8:17, 10:44-46, 19:6; Galatians 5:22-23; 1 Corinthians 12)
We believe in the operations of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
(I Corinthians 12:14)
MAN AND SALVATION
We believe in the creation, testing, and fall of man as recorded in Genesis and his total spiritual depravity and inability to attain righteousness on his own.
(Romans 3:11; 5:12,18)
We believe in the salvation of sinners by grace, through repentance, and faith in the finished work of the cross by which our sin was atoned.
(Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 9:12,22; Romans 5:11)
THE BIBLE
We believe in the plenary verbal inspiration of the accepted canon of the Scriptures as originally given and that they are infallibly and uniquely authoritative
and free from error of any sort in all matters with which they deal, including scientific and historical as well as moral and theological.
