We
believe that...
We believe
in one God, who is the Creator, eternally existing in
three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
|
|
|
... Jesus Christ was
conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born of the
Virgin Mary, and was true God and true man. We
believe that He was without sin, yet died on the
cross to pay the penalty for our sins. We believe
that He was raised from the dead and then ascended to
the Father's right hand. We believe that He is
our Mediator, Advocate, and High Priest, ever making
intercession for us before God's throne. We
confess Him to be the Son of the Living God and the Lord
of our life.
|
|
|
...The Holy Spirit
indwells and gives life to believers, enables them to
understand and apply the Scriptures so they can live
a godly life, equips them for service, and
empowers them to be a witness.
|
|
|
...The Scriptures of
the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God,
without error in the original documents, fully
trustworthy, and the final authority in all matters of
faith and life in Christ Jesus.
|
|
|
...Each member of the
human race is fallen, sinful, and lost. We
believe that the shed blood, the death, burial, and
resurrection of Jesus Christ provides the only ground for
forgiveness of sins and justification to all who receive
Him by faith. We believe that sanctification is
a progressive work of grace.
|
|
|
...The Church is
the body of Christ and is composed of all regenerate
born-again people, and that they are to worship God
and seek to proclaim the Gospel to all people.
|
|
|
We believe in the
imminent return of Jesus Christ in power and glory and the
resurrection of the just and unjust. We believe that those
who receive Jesus as Lord and Savior shall not perish but
have everlasting life and that there is an
everlasting punishment reserved for those who reject Jesus
Christ as the Son of God.
|
|
|
...Every believer is
spiritually Baptized into the Body of Christ when they are
born again; that Water Baptism is by immersion, is
a testimony of our faith in Christ, and signifies His
death, burial, and resurrection. We believe that the
Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a separate
experience that is available to all believers.
