Our Beliefs

The Bible

The Bible is God's Word to all people.  It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit.  Because it was inspired by God, the Bible is truth without any mixture of error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.

The Father

God is Great!  He is all powerful, all knowing, ever-present, unchanging, completely worthy of our trust and, above all, is Holy.  It is in Him that we live, move and exist. God is good!  He is our Father.  He is loving, compassionate and faithful to His people and His promises.

The Eternity

Man was created to exist forever.  He will exist either eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation.  To be eternally separated from God is Hell.  To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven.  Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.

Salvation

The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin.  Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin.  Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.

The Trinity

God has existed in relationship with Himself for all eternity.  He exists as one substance in three persons — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  Although each member of the Trinity serves different functions, they each possess equal power and authority.

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit's presence assures us of our relationship with Christ.  He guides believers into all truth and exalts Christ.  He convicts people of their sin, God's righteousness and the coming judgment.  He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts and makes us more like Christ.

Man

Man is made in the image of God and is the supreme object of His creation.  Man was created to have fellowship with God but became separated from the relationship through sinful disobedience.  As a result, man cannot attain a right relationship with God through his own effort.  Every human personality is uniquely created, possesses dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love.
