What We Believe
About the Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God without error. It is the sole authority for our beliefs and the way we orientate our lives. (2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 119, 2 Peter 1:20-21)
About God
We believe there is one God, the Creator and Ruler of the universe, who has existed eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14)
About Mankind
We believe man was created in the image of God and to be in community with Him. However, because of sin, people have become alienated from God and are unable to enter into a right relationship with Him through their own effort. (Genesis 1:27, Romans 3:23, Isaiah 59:1-2, Galatians 2:21)
About Jesus
We believe Jesus is both human and divine. He lived a sinless life and voluntarily paid for our sins by dying on the cross. He resurrected from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. (John 1:1, Philippians 2:6-11, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Titus 2:13)
About Salvation
We believe salvation is a gift from God to man, and we receive forgiveness of our sins by grace through faith in Jesus Christ’s death on the cross. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 6:23, 1 Peter 3:18)
About the Christian Life
We believe that every Christian partners with God in the process of becoming more like Jesus and needs to be involved in those practices, environments and relationships that aid in that pursuit. (Romans 8:29, 1 Timothy 4:7, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Ephesians 5:18)
About Eternity
We believe man was created to exist forever in either eternal separation from God by sin, or eternal union with God through Jesus. (John 3:16, 1 Corinthians 15:20-23, John 5:28-29)
