WHAT WE BELIEVE
GOD
We believe in the one true living God who is perfect, infinite, and eternal, and who coexists in three persons, namely God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
- Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; John 4:24
- Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; John 4:24
Jesus
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, that He came in the flesh and took upon Himself the form of man to teach us and to redeem us by suffering and dying in our place on the Cross of Calvary. We believe that He was raised from the dead (bodily) for our justification and is now at the right hand of God interceding for us.
- John 1:1-3; Hebr. 1:5; 1 Pet. 2:24
- John 1:1-3; Hebr. 1:5; 1 Pet. 2:24
We believe that God the Holy Spirit, often referred to as the third person of the Trinity, convicts, regenerates, empowers and indwells the believer.
- Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 6:19; Gal. 5:22-23
- Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 6:19; Gal. 5:22-23
THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible, in its entirety, is the Word of God – true, inspired and without error in its original autographs.
- 2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:21
- 2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:21
END TIMES
We believe in the personal, visible, imminent, premillennial return of Christ, with the rapture occurring before the tribulation.
- Acts 1:11; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; 1 Pet. 4:7; Rev. 3:10; 19:11-18
- Acts 1:11; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; 1 Pet. 4:7; Rev. 3:10; 19:11-18
SATAN
HUMANITY
We believe that Satan tempts, seduces and accuses us, but that he was judged at the cross and will ultimately be defeated and cast into the lake of fire.
- Job 1:6-7; Isa. 14:12-15; John 16:11; Heb. 2:14; Rev. 20:10-15
- Job 1:6-7; Isa. 14:12-15; John 16:11; Heb. 2:14; Rev. 20:10-15
We believe that all people are born sinful and in need of redemption. We believe that salvation is a free gift of God’s grace, offered to us because Jesus Christ paid our debt on the cross. We believe that this gift is received personally by faith in Jesus Christ, and that makes us secure, delivers us from the guilt, penalty and power of sin, makes us righteous before God, and promises us future glorification in God’s presence.
