Our Beliefs
Statement of Beliefs
We believe in the Trinity one sovereign God, eternally existing in three persons of the Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Although each member of the Trinity serves different functions, they each possess equal power and authority.
We believe that scriptures Old and New Testaments of the Bible are the divinely inspired and written word of God, accurate in all their principles, provide for all humankind absolute moral truths, and are “profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” so we may be complete, equipped for every good work.
We believe God created man and woman in His image as free moral agents, distinct from all other living creatures. We believe humanity sinned by rebelling against God’s revealed will and incurred both physical and spiritual death and that all humankind also carries its own guilt of sin in thought, word, and deed.
We believe in the existence of Satan, sin, and evil powers and that all these have been defeated by God in the person of Christ on the cross. We are not without Sin but we are not condemned (penalty for sin) for those who are in Christ.
We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, was true God and true man, existing in one person and without sin. We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven, and in His presence there for us as Lord of all, High Priest, and Advocate.
We believe in Salvation that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as a sacrifice, triumphing over all evil; and that those who believe and follow Him are justified by His shed blood and forgiven of all their sins.
We believe that 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.
