We believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired without error and the infallible rule of faith and practice. The Word of God is the foundation upon which the church operates and is the basis for which the church is governed.
We believe that the Word of God supersedes any earthly law that is contrary to the Holy Scriptures
Isaiah 28:13; Nehemiah 8:8; John 17:17; II Timothy 3:16-17;
Hebrews 4:12; I Peter 1:23-25; II Peter 1:3-4, 21
There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
God has revealed himself to us through His son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.
More than two thousand years ago, Jesus asked His disciples this question, "But who do you say I am?"
How you answer this question can determine your eternal destiny.
Jesus is God's only begotten Son born of the Holy Spirit. He is fully God and fully man. Jesus was born of a virgin, as prophesied by Scripture. He was born sinless and lived a sinless life. He accepted death on the cross as a payment for our sins, rising from the dead on the third day. He revealed himself to many before returning to Heaven, as prophesied in Scripture. We believe He will come back to earth to gather those who follow Him to return with Him to Heaven.
Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.
When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift, eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.
The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
