Statement of Faith
- We believe the very meaning of our existence here on earth is found in the Great Commandment of loving God with all our heart and soul and mind, and loving others as ourselves, and the Great Commission to go and make disciples. (Matthew 22:37-40, Matthew 28:19)
- We believe the Holy Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is inspired by the Holy Spirit and given to us by God to teach us what is good and true and right, and to warn us of what is not. (2 Timothy 3:16)
- We believe in personal and practical application of Biblical truths in everyday life. (1 John 3:24, 5:2-3)
- We believe the Holy Spirit is alive and active, and that He answers all who call on Him for peace, guidance, and the power to do God’s will. (1 Corinthians 2:10-14; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18; Romans 8:14)
- We believe discipleship, which comes at the cost of self, is essential for equipping believers in using their spiritual gifts and building the Kingdom of God, and that it is the responsibility of all believers to disciple others. (Luke 9:23-24; Matthew 28:19-20; Colossians 1:28-29)
- We believe in an Almighty Triune God consisting of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Revelation 1:8; Ephesians 2:18)
- We believe Jesus Christ is God incarnate, born in the flesh of a virgin mother, and the only Savior and Lord. (John 3:16; Luke 1:26-38)
- We believe Jesus Christ did many miracles which fulfill prophecy and vindicate His claims about Himself. (John 10:31-38)
- We believe that, prior to His resurrection, Jesus Christ put aside all divine privileges and lived a perfect, blameless, spotless life and was then crucified, died, and placed in a tomb, and that He atoned for our sins by His shed blood. Then, after resting in the grave on the Sabbath, He was risen by the power of the Father, and He conquered death. (Philippians 2:7-8; Hebrews 4:15; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, 55)
- We believe Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, passing from this world to sit at the Father’s right hand. (Acts 1:9-11)
- We believe that through the life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, all things are made new, and that He will come again soon to establish a new heaven and a new earth. (Isaiah 43:18-19, 2 Peter 3:13)
- We believe Jesus Christ presently rules as Head of the Church. (Colossians 1:18)
- We believe “if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
- We believe in repentance and baptism as evidence and profession of one’s faith, and that baptism, rebirth, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for the salvation of those who are separated from God by sin. (Acts 2:38, John 3:3, 1 Corinthians 12:13)
- We believe in the spiritual unity and equality of all believers through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. (Colossians 3:11)
- We believe that God’s grace is freely given, and through grace, we are convicted and called to go and not continue in our sin. (Romans 6:1-14; 2 Timothy 1:9)
- We believe in resurrection, and the life to come. (1 Corinthians 15:42-57)
- We believe the above, what is known as The Gospel, or the Good News, is in fact the greatest news conceivable.
