What We Believe
The Bible: The entire Bible is God-inspired and inerrant as recorded in the original manuscripts. God's truth is fully and clearly revealed through the Bible; it does not need to be interpreted through other writings.
God: One God exists as three Persons - the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. They are co-equal, co-eternal and each is fully God.
Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and physically died on the cross to satisfy the righteous justice of God by paying the complete penalty for the sins of mankind. When He took on human nature He never ceased to be God. He rose bodily from the dead and ascended to heaven, where He acts as Mediator-High Priest-for believers.
The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is divine person, equal with God the Father and with the Son.
Heaven and Hell: Heaven and Hell are real places. Heaven is the place where God resides. All who have repented of their sins and receive Jesus Christ, by faith, will spend eternity with Him in heaven. Hell is the place that God created for Satan and his fallen angels to be punished for their rebellion against Him. People who are not followers of Jesus Christ will spend eternity in hell. There is no second chance to be saved after death.
Man: Man has a sinful nature and is spiritually dead-that is, separated from, and enemies of God. Man would be hopelessly trapped in this state were not for God's grace, mercy and spiritual regeneration, through the new birth.
Salvation: People are saved from God's wrath by first admitting that they have broken God's commandments. Then, by repentance and receiving, by faith, Jesus' sacrificial death on their behalf, the righteous requirements of God's law is credited to their account and God declares that person righteous in His sight. Salvation cannot be attained by church membership or by good works; it is a gift of God's grace, obtained through faith.
