| What
we believe:
Here
are some of the basic beliefs of
our faith:
The
Bible
Is…
- The
inspired Word of God
- The
final authority for Christian faith and living
God exists
eternally in three persons:
- Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit;
- God
is creator of all things,
- God
is perfect in love, and is righteous in all ways
Jesus Christ
is God’s eternal Son;
- Born
of a virgin, He took the form of man;
- Through
His sinless life He taught us how to live;
- He
was crucified as a sacrifice for our sins;
- He
rose from the dead, according to the scriptures;
- Returned
to heaven to prepare a place for us;
- He
will come again to receive believers into the presence of God.
Men and Women
created in God’s Image,
- Were
tempted by Satan and rebelled against God
- Through
repentance and personal faith in Christ, we are forgiven of our sins
- Reborn
into a new relationship with God placed into the body of Christ
The Holy
Spirit convicts us of our sin,
- Guides
us to repent and confess Christ as Savior
- He
lives in us, teaches us
- Empowers
us by His presence to live a holy life
The Church is
the living body of Christ,
- On
mission for Christ in the world
- Christ
is its head
- Division
in the Body of Christ is inappropriate
- The
Body is composed of all who have received Christ as Savior and have
accepted
Him as Lord
The Kingdom
of God is a present reality in the world,
- Its
Citizens are all those who willingly submit to the Lordship of Christ
and the rule and reign of God.
