STATEMENT OF BELIEFS

THE BIBLE

The Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative, inspired and applicable to our everyday lives.

TRINITY

There is one true God consisting of three equal persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ is God the Son. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus, atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory.

REPENTANCE

Sin has separated each of us from God. In order to receive forgiveness and the ‘new birth’ we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.

WATER BAPTISM:

The Bible tells us that when we confess our sins to God, turn away from them, and believe in Christ, we are to be baptized through immersing ourselves into water. This immersion is simply the public display of our faith in Jesus - His life, death, and resurrection. Water baptism is the declaration that we have chosen to die to sin and are now new creations through Jesus Christ.

SALVATION

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus. Through His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts.

SANCTIFICATION

Sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding to God’s Word and His Spirit in order to complete the development of Christ's character in us. It is through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God that we are enabled to live a Godly life.

HEAVEN & HELL

Our eternal destination of either Heaven or Hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ. Heaven is the eternal dwelling place for all believers and Hell is a place of separation from God for all unbelievers.

SECOND COMING

Jesus Christ will return to earth for the second time as He promised.
