Loving Jesus. Loving People. Changing The World.

Beliefs

This is a summary of what we believe:

  1. All the scripture is verbally inspired as originally written and therefore is infallible and inerrant. (II Timothy 3:16, 17; II Peter 1:21; Matthew 5:18; I Corinthians 2:13). The Bible is the very Word of God. We cannot accept the misleading statement: “The Bible contains the Word of God."
  2. There is one living and true God who exists in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19, II Corinthians 13:14). The Father is God (I Corinthians 8:6); the Son is God (Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1,14; Hebrews 1:8-10); and the Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3,4).
  3. The Lord Jesus Christ was born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38).
  4. Christ rose bodily from the dead and ascended unto God the Father (Matthew 28; Mark 16; I Corinthians 15; Romans 1:4).
  5. In the literal bodily return of Jesus Christ at the end of the age, believers will be caught up to meet him in the air, will be changed into His likeness and so shall we ever be with the Lord (John 14:3; Philippians 3:20, 21,; I Thessalonians 4:16,17).
  6. All men inherit a depraved nature and are lost sinners in need of salvation (Romans 3:9-19; Ephesians 2:1-3).
  7. God had provided salvation through offering His Son on the cross of Calvary, and allowing His blood to be shed to atone for our sins (Romans 3:25; Hebrews 9:22).
  8. We are saved and justified when we recognize ourselves as sinners, and put our trust in Christ as the Son of God and His finished work on the cross of Calvary. Salvation is by grace through repentance and faith plus nothing (Romans 3:24 and 4:5; Ephesians 2:8,9).
