Our Core Beliefs

We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, trustworthy and true, without error, Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

 

We believe there is only one God who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Matthew 28:19)

 

We believe Jesus Christ is God, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His death that paid for our sin through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension/rising up to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory. (John 1:1; Matthew 1:18,25; Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 9:15-22; 1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Acts 1:9-11; Hebrews 9:27-28).

We believe that faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Resurrected Savior is the only means of salvation for lost and sinful men and women.  By believing in Jesus Christ the lost sinner is forgiven of all sins, past present and future and freely granted eternal life and the promise of the Holy Spirit.   (John 3:16; John 5:24; Titus 3:3-7)

We believe that in rejecting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we receive eternal punishment in hell. (Matthew 25:31-46; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

 

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, who lives within and guides Christians so they are enabled to live godly lives; and that through His power grants spiritual gifts to the believers.  (John 14:15-26; John 16:5-16; Ephesians 1:13-14, 1 Cor. 12: 4-11; Titus 3: 5-7)

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, and that all believers are members of His body, the Church. (Philippians 2:1-4)

 

We believe God’s design for sexual intimacy is to be expressed only within the context of marriage. God instituted marriage between one man and one woman as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one man and one woman. (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:6-9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9)
