OUR BELIEFS
One True and Living God
There is one true and living
God eternally existing in three persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit, all equal in power and glory. This triune God created all things,
upholds all things, and governs all things. God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and
present everywhere. 1 John 5:7-8
The Bible
The Bible consists of the 66
books of the Old and New Testament. The Bible is the only inspired, infallible,
and authoritative Word of God. It is God's mind to us. 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21
God the Father
God the Father is an infinite, personal
Spirit perfect in every way: holiness, wisdom, power, and love. He hears and
answers prayer and interacts with mankind. 1 Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 4:6; James 1:17
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son,
conceived by the Holy Spirit - fully God and fully man. Born of a virgin, as
predicted by Scripture, He lived a sinless life and performed miracles while on
Earth. He accepted death on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins and was
raised from the dead on the third day. He revealed himself to many before
returning to Heaven as predicted in Scripture. We believe He will return to
earth again.
John 1:1; Romans 1:4; Colossians 1:15; Colossians 2:9, 1 Timothy 3:16; Galatians 4:4; Philippians 2:8;
1 Timothy 2:5; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Corinthians 15:3-5; 1 Thessalonians 4:16
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the third person of
the Godhead. We believe that at salvation the Holy Spirit regenerates and
indwells and seals every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is our
comforter, helper, teacher, and guide.
(1 Corinthians 12:13; Matthew 12:31; Ephesians 4:4-6; John 14:26)
The Holy Spirit helps to conform us to the likeness of Christ. We also believe that the Holy Spirit empowers
us to live as witnesses for Christ and that comes from an experience of the
Holy Spirit coming upon a believer to empower them as we see in the book of
Acts.
That event of being filled or baptized in
the Spirit needs to translate into a lifestyle of continuing to be filled, led,
and empowered by the Holy Spirit as Paul teaches in Ephesians 5:18. We believe that all the gifts of the Holy
Spirit are available to His church today just like they were in the Early
Church. John 14:16-17; John 16:7-11; Romans 8:9;
1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Ephesians 1:13-14; Acts 1:8; Titus 3:5-6; Romans 12:6-8; 1 Corinthians 12-14; 1 Peter 4:10-11
Humanity
Our sin separates us from a Holy God. We
all sin, both by nature and by choice. The only way we can have a relationship
with God is by turning from our sin and accepting Jesus Christ as both Savior
and Lord. Romans 3:21-26
Water Baptism and
Communion
We water baptize new believers and
regularly take communion. These practices were instituted by Christ, taught by
the apostles, and practiced by the early church. God's ordinances demonstrate
our living faith and obedience to Christ. Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-25
Marriage
We believe that God created mankind male
and female. Men and women are both created in the image of God, and as such,
they are equal in value, dignity, and worth, but different in function so as to
complement and complete each other. God instituted monogamous marriage between
male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of
human society. Therefore, we perform marriages in accordance with the Bible
consistent with the Old and New Testament precepts
1 Corinthians 7:1-3; Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4-6
We exist to glorify God by being a loving community where people are saved, set free, discipled, empowered, and sent out to fulfill their God-given calling.
