What We Believe

God

• God is the Creator and ruler of the universe.
•  He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
• Each person is co-equal and are one God.

Genesis 1:1,26,27, 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14

Jesus Christ

• Jesus Christ is the Son of God, co-equal with the Father.
• Jesus lived a sinless human life.
• Offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. 
• He died and rose from the dead after three days, demonstrating His power over sin and death.
• He ascended to Heaven and will return to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Matthew 1:22, 23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14,15; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14,15; Titus 2:13

The Holy Spirit

• The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God.
• He is present in the world to make humanity aware of their need for Jesus Christ.
• He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation.
• He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right.
• He gives every believer spiritual gifts when they are saved to be used for the “common good.”
• As Christians, we seek to daily live under His guidance.

2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians, 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:18

Bible

• The Bible is God’s Word to us.
• Human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit wrote it.
• It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.
• As God’s inspired Truth, it is without error.

2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105,160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5

Humans

• People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character.
• People are the supreme object of God’s creation.
• Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called sin.
• This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life.

Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1, 2

Salvation

• Salvation is God’s free gift to us, but we must accept it.
• We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works.
• Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty.
• When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved.
• Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8,9; John 14:6, 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1

Eternity

• People were created to exist forever.
• We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation.
• To be eternally separated from God is Hell.
• To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.

John 3:16; John 14:17; Romans 6:23; Romans 8:17-18; Revelation 20:15; 1 Cor. 2:7-9

Kingdom of God

• Jesus came to earth to undo the works of the Devil.(I Jn.3:8)
• Kingdom clashes were inevitable when Jesus came preaching the Good News of the Kingdom of God.
• As the Good News is preached today, we can still expect Kingdom clashes.
• When Jesus fed the hungry, healed, drove out demons, raised the dead, he was  advancing his Kingdom into the Kingdom of Darkness.
• We believe the Kingdom is future but is also here and now.
• For this reason we believe we are to pray for the sick, feed the hungry, and do the  works of Jesus.

Mark 1:15, 12:34, Matthew 4:17,Luke 11:20
