What
We Believe
We
believe God’s Word is Truth. We base our lives on
its direction. We believe the Scriptures are divinely inspired,
without error, and is the final authority on all matters
on which it bears. As the Bible teaches, we believe that
there is one God, eternally existing in three persons —
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit — each possessing
all the attributes of Deity.
We
believe that God created humanity to have fellowship with
Him, but they defied God by sinfully going their own way.
As a result, we need God’s saving grace to end our
alienation from Him. Salvation comes only through God’s
saving grace — not human effort — and must be
received personally by repentance and faith.
Jesus
Christ, second Person of the Trinity, lived a sinless life
on earth and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the
cross as our substitute. This accomplishes salvation for
all who receive grace by trusting in Him alone. He rose
from the dead and is the only mediator between us and God.
He will return to earth to consummate history.
The
Holy Spirit draws sinners to Christ and equips believers
for personal growth and service to the church. The church’s
role is to glorify God and serve those in need. At the end,
everyone will experience bodily resurrection and the judgement.
Those forgiven through Christ will enjoy eternal fellowship
with God. For more details, please ask for our complete
