OUR BELIEFS

"God is the creator of all things, seen and unseen. God is eternal and wholly good, knowing all things and holding all power and majesty. God exists as the Trinity. He is three persons, yet one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit."

~ Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19; John 14:26

"God displayed himself in human form through his son, Jesus Christ. Jesus was born of the virgin Mary and lived a sinless life. Displaying his commitment to God and us, he died on the cross for our sins. Jesus Christ was then buried, resurrected from the dead, and ascended into heaven."

~ John 1:1-5; Luke 23:26-43; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35; 1 Peter 2:22; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity and lives inside all who believe in Jesus Christ. All believers can be baptized in the Holy Spirit and live in His overflowing fullness. The Holy Spirit gives each follower diverse gifts and produces Christ-like character in our lives. He also teaches, comforts, and empowers us.

~ Acts 1:8; Acts 8; 1 Corinthians 12

All people are created with dignity and value in the image of God. Salvation comes to people on the basis of God’s grace and compassion, through their faith in Jesus alone. They receive the free gift of forgiveness and are spiritually reborn by repenting of their sin and believing in Jesus Christ. Good works and a holy life, although totally unable to save anyone, are the natural products of repentant, believing people.

~John 3:3-6; Romans 10:9; John 3:16

Water baptism is a public declaration of our faith in Jesus Christ and the outward demonstration of the inward transformation that takes place when we receive Him as our Lord and Savior. This also declares their decision to crucify and bury their sinful nature and to live after their spirit-man that has been resurrected with Christ.

~1 Peter 3:21; Romans 3:3-6

We believe in deliverance and healing from our inheritance of Christ’s victory on Calvary. The believer has the authority to cast out devils, to speak with new tongues, and to lay hands on the sick.

~Mark 16:16-18

The redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides healing for the human body. By his stripes, we are healed.

~Isaiah 53:4-5; James 5:14-15; 1 Peter 2:24
