BIBLE
We believe the Bible, to be the inspired Word of God,
without error, the revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the
divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
GOD We believe in one God existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God has always been and will always be the only God. There were none before Him and shall be none after him.
THE FATHER
We believe that the Father created all things in heaven and
on earth. He created human beings out of a love for us and desires a personal
relationship with each of us.
JESUS
We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man,
having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived
a sinless life and died on the cross as the sacrifice for our sins according to
the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead and ascended into
heaven.
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to
convict men, making them aware of their sin and the salvation available through
Jesus. He regenerates, guides, instructs, and empowers the believer for godly
living and service.
MAN
We believe that man was created in the image of God and
sinless, but fell into sin and is therefore lost and subject to judgment. There
is nothing man can do to save himself from this judgment, but he can allow the
death of Jesus to take the place of his own eternal damnation by acknowledging
God and accepting the free gift of salvation.
SALVATION
We believe that the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ
provides the only way of justification and salvation for all who believe.
Furthermore, any who attach additional works of man as a requirement for
salvation are false in that they infer Jesus death is insufficient in and of
itself to save and that human beings somehow have the capability to save
themselves.
WE ACCEPT THE SINNER, BUT DENOUNCE THE SIN We believe that no sin is too big for God to forgive. Therefore, as Christians we should be open and eager to share the Gospel with everyone regardless of their sin or affliction. However, making Jesus Lord of our lives means we must strive towards holiness and turn from our sinful ways. Therefore, while being open to all sinners, Christians ought not accept, ignore, or promote any sin as permissible.
