What We Believe

• The Bible is the inspired Word of God.
• There is one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit
• Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is fully God and fully man.
• All of us by nature are sinners and are unable to do anything to earn God’s favor.
• God saves us by His grace through the death of Christ on the cross for our sins. Salvation comes as a free gift from God through faith.
• All those who have received salvation by faith are eternally secure in Christ.
• The Holy Spirit is a Person. He convicts us of sin, regenerates, and indwells all believers from the moment of their salvation.
• There is one church, the Body of Christ. All who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior are members of that church.
• All Christians are called by God to live free from sin through the power of the Holy Spirit.
• Christ rose bodily from the dead and we will too. The unsaved will be raised to eternal punishment and believers will be raised to spend eternity in God’s presence.
• As sinners saved by God’s grace we have a duty to share with others the good news of salvation. We should do so with those we come in contact with and to those elsewhere through our participation in missions.
