Our Beliefs

About God the Father – The one charge of everything
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
Genesis 1:1,26,27, 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19;1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14
 
About Jesus – the God became a man
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
Matthew 1:22, 23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14,15; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14,15; Titus 2:13
 
About the Holy Spirit – God is always present
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer spiritual gifts. We are commanded to be filled with the Holy Spirit. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.
2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:18; ; Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Acts 10:47-48
 
About the Bible – God wrote a book
The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105,160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5
About Mankind – God’s image bearers
People were created good and upright, for God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness”. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. People, by voluntary disobedience towards Godcalled sin have separated themselves from Him. Man’s only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God.
 Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1,2
 
About Salvation – God’s Only way
Salvation is God’s free gift to us but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8,9; John 14:6, 1:12; Titus 3:5
 
About Water Baptism – An outward Symbol
Baptism in water is an example of a burial with Christ and his resurrection. Baptism should be observed as commanded in the Scriptures by anyone who has accepted Christ in their hearts. In so doing, they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and that they have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. 
Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:4; Acts 10:47-48
 
About Eternity – Somewhere forever the Holy Spirit
People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
Revelation 19:20; 20:10-15;John 3:16; John 14:17; Romans 6:23; Romans 8:17-18; 1 Cor. 2:7-9
