OUR BELIEFS

We are associated with the Southern Baptist Convention

About God:

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God

Jesus Christ:

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

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 men 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 a spiritual gift when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.

The Bible:

The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error.

Human Beings:

People are made in the image of God. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Therefore, every human being possesses dignity and is worthy of respect and Christ-like love. Man chose to sin and introduced sin’s consequence to mankind and creation at large. Therefore, every person is born with a sinful nature. In other words, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin”. This attitude separates people from God because God is holy.

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 trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

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.

The Church:

The Church is both local and universal. The local church is made up of baptized believers who worship and fellowship together in a community. The universal church is composed of all believers from all time. All believers are commanded to be a part of a local fellowship.
