Christian Beliefs

The Word of God

We believe that the Bible, including both the Old and the New Testaments, is the authoritative and inspired Word of God. We believe that the Bible alone is the supreme and final authority in all matters of history, doctrine, and conduct.

The Trinity

We believe that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father knows all things, including the thoughts and intentions of every human heart. He is perfectly holy and just, and extends His love to all mankind. The Son is fully God and fully man, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. He lived a sinless life and performed many miracles that demonstrated His deity and authenticated His ministry. He died on the cross, was buried, and bodily rose again from the dead. The Holy Spirit was sent by the Father and the Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and He regenerates, sanctifies, and preserves all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that He indwells every believer at the moment of conversion, thus becoming their abiding helper, comforter, teacher, and guide.

Salvation

We believe that every human being is a sinner by nature and by choice, and is spiritually separated from God. Salvation from the penalty and power of sin is a free gift of God’s grace, apart from any human merit or religious practices. We believe that salvation was purchased by the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ through the shedding of His blood on the cross, and that only those persons who repent of their sins and place their faith in Christ for the forgiveness of sins are redeemed and possess spiritual life, a life that extends into eternity.

Christian Living

We believe that the supreme purpose of every believer is to glorify God by pursuing a life of godliness and by becoming increasingly conformed to the image of Jesus Christ in every aspect of life.

Prophecy

We believe that Jesus Christ fulfilled all of the Old Testament prophecies regarding His first coming as a suffering servant to die for the sins of mankind. We also believe in Jesus’ promise that He would return as a conquering king in power and glory. We believe in the resurrection of the dead, and that every human being will stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ where those without Christ will be condemned, and those who have been saved by the blood of Christ shall have eternal life.
