We believe
-
In one God, Creator and Sustainer of all things, completely perfect and eternally co-existing in three Persons: The Father, Jesus Christ, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.
-
The Old and New Testaments are inspired by God and are useful to teach us, to correct us and train us.
-
Human Beings were created perfect in God’s image; however, the choice to disobey God brought sin into the entire human race, with the result of suffering and death infecting the perfect world that God had created.
-
The substitutionary death of Jesus Christ and His bodily resurrection provide the only means for justification, forgiveness and salvation to all who believe. Only those who trust in Him alone are born of the Holy Spirit and will spend eternity with Him.
-
The Holy Spirit is the Agent of regeneration and renewal for believers in Jesus Christ. He comforts, guides, convicts and empowers believers to live in ways that honor Christ.
- In the sure and imminent return of Jesus Christ. And it might be today.
