What We Believe

One True God

There is only One True God–revealed in three persons…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).

Deuteronomy 6:4Isaiah 43:10-11

The Deity of Jesus

Jesus is God. He left heaven and became a man to be our example and empathize with us. He has always been and will always be.

Matthew 28:19Mark 1:10-11

Salvation of Man

Jesus suffered and died on the cross so we could have a relationship with God. This relationship is initiated by God through His grace and received by man- kind through faith.

Ephesians 2:8-9

Fall of Man

Mankind is broken and attracted to sin. Through sin mankind brought evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.

Genesis 3:1-7Isaiah 59:2

The Bible

The Bible is inspired by God and is perfect with no errors. It is God‘s design and plan for mankind and our guide for faith and living.

2 Timothy 3:15-172 Peter 1:20-21Hebrews 4:12

Sanctification

Christians should grow in their relationship with Christ. Being holy is a lifelong process of overcoming sin and temptation and becoming like Jesus.

Hebrews 12:141 Peter 1:15-16Galatians 5:16

The Holy Spirit

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is available to all believers, after salvation to help them tell others about Jesus and live a godly life. The first physical sign that someone has been Baptized in the Holy Spirit is that they will speak in an unlearned language.

Acts 1:8Luke 24:49Acts 2:1-4Acts 10:44-48Acts 19:1-6

Water Baptism & Communion

Water baptism and communion should be offered on a regular basis.

1) Water Baptism by immersion after becoming a Christian. We have a water baptism service three times a year.

2) Communion (the Lord’s Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation. We serve communion in morning services on the 3rd Sunday each month.

Matthew 3:15Acts 2:38Matthew 26:26-291 Corinthians 11:23-30

The Church

The church has three purposes on this earth 1) To reach out to sinners with the good news of what Jesus has done for them. 2) To be the representation of Jesus on this earth. 3) To bless God with our lives.

Matthew 16:18Matthew 28:19

Ministers

God has placed ministers in the church to help the church carry out these purposes.

Acts 13:2Ephesians 4:11

Healing

Healing for sickness and disease is provided through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.

Reign of Christ

Jesus will return to the earth in the future and rule the earth for 1,000 years.

Revelation 20:1-6

Final Judgement

There will be a final judgment for those who have rejected Christ. These will be confined to the lake of fire for eternity.

Revelation 20:11-15

New Heaven & New Earth

God will create a perfect new earth and the city of heaven will rest on it. All people, of all time, who have accepted Him as their Savior will live with Him for eternity.
