5:12-19).ĪBOUT SALVATION We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross solely provides for the forgiveness of sins (Mark 10:45). As a result, humanity is totally incapable of coming back into a right relationship with God by one’s own effort (Rom.
1:26), but became alienated from that relationship through sinful disobedience (Gen. We believe that human beings were created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him (Gen. The words of the Bible are the primary source for teaching and equipping Christians for a life of righteousness (2 Tim. The Holy Spirit provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, guidance in doing what is right, and spiritual gifts to edify the church.ĪBOUT THE BIBLE We believe that the entire Bible is the inspired, infallible and inerrant Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit to write the books of Scripture (2 Pet 1:20-21). Therefore, every believer must foster a life of being filled with the Spirit, which is both an initial and an ongoing experience for Christians (Ephesians 5:18). The body of each believer is a temple in which the Holy Spirit is present (1 Cor. 6:13-16).ĪBOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT We believe in the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit that empowers each Christian to live a godly life (Rom. 1:3), and that He will return again to reign as Lord of lords (Acts 1:11 1 Tim. 15:4), His exaltation to the right hand of the Father (Heb. 15:3), His resurrection on the third day (John 11:25 1 Cor. 4:15 7:26), His atoning death on the cross (1 Cor. 28:19).ĪBOUT JESUS CHRIST We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, in His virgin birth (Matt. He eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matt. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.ABOUT GOD We believe there is one God who is the Creator and the Ruler of the universe (Gen. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. About Eternity We believe people were created to exist forever. We understand that any person can become a new person in Jesus Christ with the forgiveness of sins, the removal of guilt, and the inward change of the heart, by believing in Jesus Christ. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty.

About Salvation We believe Salvation is God’s free gift to us, entirely by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works or human effort. We believe that man in his fallen state is a sinner, lost, undone, without hope, and in need of a savior. This rebellion caused mankind’s spiritual death and resulted in the complete separation and alienation from God. A relationship barrier was erected when man chose to sin by rebelling against God’s ways. About Mankind We believe that mankind was created by God in His image, to be like Him in character and with Him in relationship. We hold that the Scriptures, along with the power of the Spirit, are God’s main means of guiding and strengthening the believer. About the Bible We believe that the Bible is God’s inspired, inerrant word, the authoritative and trustworthy rule of faith and practice for all Christians. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit and all of the Gifts of The Spirit are for the Church today, equipping and empowering believers to effectively strengthen the Church and to reach and minister to a lost world. He provides the Christ follower with a growing understanding of biblical truth, daily guidance, and the power to become Christ-like. About Holy Spirit We believe that, by the grace of God, the Holy Spirit - the third Person of the Godhead –dwells in every born-again believer.
We believe that He not only taught the truth and demonstrated the power of God in miracles, but also died on a cross as a payment for man’s sins, rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and sent the Holy Spirit to guide the Church. About Jesus Christ We hold that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of a virgin, sinless, and perfect. He is the creator, sustainer, and controller of all things and can be known personally through Jesus Christ. About God We believe that there is only one true God who has revealed Himself as Father, Son, (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit.
