BELIEFS

The BIBLE is the written Word of God.  Written by men guided by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, it is God’s authoritative revelation of Himself to man.  It is truth without error, useful for instruction in our daily lives, and in equipping us for every good work that God has prepared for us to do.

There is only one GOD, Creator, and Ruler of the heavens and the earth.  He is eternally existing in three persons, known as the TRINITY – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.  Demonstrating a perfect relationship, the three in one are co-equal in power and authority, yet subservient in nature.  The Father sent the Son who does the will of the Father, and the Son sent the Holy Spirit to be our Counselor.

God the FATHER is our heavenly Father, the all-powerful, all-knowing, and ever-present head of the Trinity.  He is perfect, limitless, and unchanging in all His attributes.  He is loving, kind, compassionate, patient, faithful, gracious, and generous.  Because of His abundant love, He is jealous of us and desires a relationship with us.   He is also just and holy and hates sin.  He is merciful and forgiving too.

Created in God’s own image, MAN is the supreme object of God’s creation.  God created human beings to have fellowship with Him.  God gave man free will; the ability to choose and a capacity for independent desires.  Adam, the first man, and his wife Eve exercised their freedom and chose to disobey God.  From that day forward, all of mankind has fallen short of God’s perfect standard and has been separated from God by sin.  The disobedience of God’s laws and requirements is unrighteousness, and all unrighteousness is SIN.  Man is in need of a Savior.

Because of God’s love for us, God the Father sent His only SON to save the world from sin.  JESUS is the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity.  Born of a virgin, He is both fully man and fully God.  He is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophesies of the coming Messiah; Prophet, Priest, and King; the Savior.  Jesus lived an exemplary life on earth.  His sinless life satisfies God’s requirement for perfection and is the substitute for mankind.  Jesus died on the cross as a sacrifice, atoning for all the sins of the world.  He laid down His life to redeem us from the judgment of the Law.  He reconciled us, bringing us back into a right relationship with God.  Jesus defeated death when God raised Him from death on the third day.

God desires that everyone come to repentance (turning from sin) and be saved.  SALVATION is a gift from God.  We are saved by grace through faith in His Son Jesus Christ.  We are justified through believing in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, and we are saved by the profession of our faith that Jesus is Lord.

After Jesus’ resurrection, He appeared to many witnesses and then ascended to heaven.  He is now seated at the right hand of the Father.  He did not leave us to be alone.  Jesus sent the HOLY SPIRIT to be our Helper, our Comforter.  The Holy Spirit exalts Jesus and convicts man of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.  Upon the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit dwells in every believer providing power for living, guidance, and understanding of spiritual truth.
