WHAT WE BELIEVE
GOD
There is only one God who exists for all eternity (Dt. 6:4; Ps. 90:2; Is. 43:10). Although God is one, he exists in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – who are equal in nature, power, and glory (Mt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14). God is distinct from his creation, being the Creator and Sustainer of all things. He has revealed Himself to mankind through: His works (Ps. 19:1; Ro. 1:20), His Word (2 Tim. 3:16,17), and His Son (Heb. 1:1,2). ​​
JESUS
Jesus Christ is both God (Jn . 1:1) and man (1 Tim. 2:5). He is the only begotten Son of God (Jn. 3:16), and was miraculously conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary (Lk. 1:34,35). Jesus was sinless (Heb. 4:15), and his death on a cross atoned for mankind’s sin and made reconciliation with God possible (1 Jn. 2:2; 2 Cor. 5:19,21). He is mankind’s only hope for salvation (Jn. 14:6; Ac. 4:12). After his death on the cross, he bodily resurrected, appeared to others, then ascended into heaven (1 Cor. 15:3-8; 1 Tim. 3:16). Jesus is the only mediator between God and man (1 Tim. 2:5; Heb. 7:25). One day, he will personally, bodily, and visibly return to judge the world (Rev. 1:7; 22:12).
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is a personal being who works in the world today convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment (Jn. 16:8). He comforts and strengthens Christians through his indwelling presence. (Jn. 14:16,17; 2 Cor. 3:18)
THE BIBLE
The 66 canonical books of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God (2 Pet. 2:20,21). These alone serve as the authoritative basis for our faith and practice (2 Tim. 3:16,17).
SALVATION
We are saved by grace through faith, not through our own works (Eph. 2:8,9). A living faith expresses itself through confessing that Jesus is Lord (Ro. 10:9,10), and repentance and baptism (Acts 2:38). Baptism is by immersion (Rom. 6:4) and for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38; 22:16). Those in Christ have great assurance (Rom. 8:1)
