What
We Believe
Our
core convictions affect everything. We acknowledge the Bible
as our authority and the following statements should help
you understand the nonnegotiable biblical ideas that fundamentally
define who we are:
.
We believe that there is one sovereign God eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator of all things.
(Genesis 1:1, Matthew 3:16 – 17, John 1:1 -2, Acts 2:32 – 33)
.
We believe
that Jesus Christ, God's only Son was born of a virgin,
lived a perfect life, died as a substitute for us, and rose
from the grave. (Colossians 2:9, Luke 1:30-35, 1 Corinthians
15:3-8, 2 Corinthians 5:21)
. We believe in
the Holy Spirit who convicts the world in regard to sin,
righteousness and judgment, and indwells every believer
and equips them for personal growth and service to Jesus
Christ. (John 16:8; Acts 2:38; Ephesians 1:13-14)
. We believe
the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the final authority
for all matters of faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
. We believe
that man, created by God in His image, willfully sinned
and as a result, is lost and without hope apart from Jesus
Christ. (Genesis 1:27 , Romans 3:23 , 6:23 ; Acts 4:12 )
. We believe
that salvation - the forgiveness of sins - is available
only by the grace of God through the blood of Jesus Christ.
This free gift of salvation is offered to all who receive
Christ as Lord and Savior through faith. (John 3:16, Ephesians
2:8-9; Colossians 2:6; Acts 2:38)
.
We
believe
those accepting Christ should repent of sin, confess their
faith, and be baptized into
Him.
(Romans 10:9; Acts
2:38; Mark 16:16; Acts 8:36, 38; Galatians 3:26-27)
. We believe
that death seals the eternal destiny of each person. When
Christ returns he will pronounce the eternal fate of each
individual-the saved to eternal life in heaven, the unsaved
to eternal separation from God in hell. (Acts 1:10 -11,
John 5:28-29; Daniel 12:2; 2 Corinthians 4:14)
