About Us

The Bible

The Bible was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is God's Word to us and is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs about living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without error.

One God

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The three are coequal and are one God (Commonly known as the Trinity).

Deity of Christ

Jesus Christ was completely human and at the same time, completely God. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will return again someday to earth to reign as King.

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 in that relationship through sinful disobedience. Sin allowed evil, sickness and death into the world, both physically and spiritually. As a result, man cannot attain a right relationship with God through his own effort.

Salvation

Every person can have restored relationship with God through '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, by the Holy Spirit and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.

Water Baptism

Baptism is symbolic of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Once we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, baptism is a way for us to publicly declare our new life in Christ. It is also a step of obedience based on God's commands and allows us to follow the example of Jesus, who submitted himself to baptism by immersion.

Communion

Holy Communion (The Lord's Supper) is a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation.

Baptism of the Holy Spirit

The baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues is a subsequent gift to Salvation. The Holy Spirit empowers believers for witnessing and effective service.

The Church

The Church is a local community of believers unified through faith in Christ. It is committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands. The goal of the Church is to bring the Gospel to the world and to make disciples. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ.

Return of Christ

The Lord Jesus Christ will return one day and there will be a resurrection of both the saved and the lost. The saved will enter into eternal life, living eternally in the presence of God, and the lost unto eternal damnation without further opportunity of repentance.

Eternity

People will exist eternally with or without God. People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life in Heaven. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence.
