WE BELIEVE
THE BIBLE.
The Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is truth and our authority for what we believe and how we live. (2 Tim 3.15-17).
GOD AND JESUS ARE ONE.
There is only One God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Spirit. The fullness of God dwells in Jesus bodily. To see Jesus is to see God. (Deut 6.4; John 14.9; Eph 4.4-6; Col 2.9; 1 Tim 3.16).
EVERYONE NEEDS A SAVIOR.
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith, based on the atoning blood and broken body of Jesus Christ (Rom 3.23-25; 6.23; Eph 2.8-9).
SALVATION IS GOOD NEWS.
The Gospel is the “good news” that Jesus lived a sinless life, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again three days later. We apply what Jesus did, by repenting of our sins (death to sin), being baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection) with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues. This experience is the pattern of the early church.
(1 Cor 15.1-4; 2 Thes 1.8; 1 Pet 4.17; Mark 1.15; Acts 15.7; Rom 6.3-4; Acts 2.4, 37-39; 8.9-17; 10.1-48; 19.1-7).
JESUS IS OUR LIFE.
As Christians we are to live and love like Jesus did, living a life pleasing to God both inwardly and outwardly—in our thoughts, words, and actions. (Mark 12.28-31; 1 Cor 12.8-10; 2 Cor 7.1; Rom 8.13-14; Gal 5.19-26; Heb 12.14).
JESUS IS COMING BACK.
Jesus Christ is coming again to rapture his church. The righteous will inherit eternal life in heaven with Jesus Christ, and the unrighteous eternal death. (1 Thes 4.16-17; Rev 20.11-15).
