Beliefs
What We Believe
We believe there is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4) and apart from Him there are no other gods (Isaiah 44:6). We believe that this God is the creator of the universe (Genesis 1:1) and exists outside of the confines of time and space (Revelation 22:13).
We believe Jesus is the Son of the one true God (John 1:14) born of a virgin and conceived by the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:18). We believe Jesus is both perfectly divine and perfectly human, having two complete and distinct natures at once (Philippians 2:5-8). We believe Jesus is morally perfect and lived a life free of sin (Hebrews 4:15). We believe Jesus was crucified to atone for the sins of mankind (Hebrews 9:22) was bodily resurrected from the dead (Matthew 28:6) and ascended back to Heaven (Acts 1:9-12). We believe He is seated at the right hand of God the Father interceding for believers (Romans 8:34) until He returns to gather His church and judge the nations (Revelation 1:7).
We believe that mankind inherits sin and unrighteousness through the fall of Adam (Romans 5:12) and as a result all are spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1). We believe without receiving forgiveness for our sins we will be judged by God and condemned to an eternity separated from Him (Revelation 20:12-15).
We believe Christ’s death on the cross atones for the sins of mankind (1 Peter 3:18). We believe one’s sins are forgiven by the grace of God through faith in His Son Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8). We believe salvation can only be obtained through Christ alone (John 14:6) and outside of Him there is no forgiveness of sins (Acts 4:12).
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells the hearts of believers (1 Corinthians 3:16) and enables them to live a life pleasing to God (Galatians 5:16). We believe the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is evidence someone is truly born again (John 3:7) and a child of God (Romans 8:14). We believe when someone is born again the Holy Spirit will produce fruits of righteousness in their life (Galatians 5:22,23) and equip them with spiritual gifts for the common good of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:4-7).
