What We Believe
We Believe...
- God is three persons in one: the Father, Who created
and sustains the world; the Son, Who lived as a human being, died, and
rose from the dead; and the Holy Spirit Who works God's will in the
world.
Matthew 28:18-21
- The Bible is the infallible word of God, spoken
through human writers. It is the sole authority, guide and standard
for all that we do. 2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 3:16-17
- Sin exists in every person. It is the cause of the
bad things people do to each other.
Romans 5:12, 18-19
- Everyone will have existence after death - either
in heaven or hell - forever and without end.
- God has a plan to end the world, when He will judge
everyone - both the living and the dead.
Matthew 25:31-46
- We believe in the sign of the cross; it as a symbol used by all Christians. The cross symbolizes the terrible death that Jesus suffered as punishment for our sins. The empty cross is a symbol of Jesus' victory over sin and death. Colossians 2:13-15
- Grace alone - God loved the world,
though we do not deserve His love. He sent His Son to love the unlovely
and save the ungodly. Ephesians 2:8-10
- Faith alone - Jesus has provided
for our forgiveness and life; those who hear this promise and believe
it, have what it offers. People don't "get" faith; God gives
it as He gives us His promises.
Romans 1:16-17
- Scripture alone - The Bible
is the only source that shows God's will and the only basis for faith.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
- Baptism and Communion
are a means by which God gives people His grace.
Acts 2:38-39; Matthew 26:26-28
- God is loving and that He offers forgiveness and
eternal life as a free gift because of Jesus Christ.
Salvation Is a free gift - We believe that no matter how hard we try, we cannot earn God's forgiveness or a place in heaven. It is a free gift we receive only through faith in Jesus Christ.
Galatians 2:15-21
