Beliefs

Trinity. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

God the Father. God the Father rules the universe He created with providential care. He guides the course of history. He is all powerful, all knowing, all loving, and all wise. God the Father may only be considered Father to those who become His children by faith in Jesus Christ. He is, however, fatherly in His attitude toward all people.

Jesus Christ. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin conception, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His substitutionary atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return to earth in power and glory.

The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God. He is fully divine and co-equal and co-eternal with the Father. He is the agent by which people are convicted of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He draws people to the Savior and at the point of salvation He makes them a new creation, which is properly called being "born again." He gives spiritual gifts to believers and empowers them to continue the ministry of Jesus on earth. All the gifts of the Spirit are active today - none have ceased.

Bible. We believe the Bible to be the inspired and infallible Word of God. It is the final authority for Christian faith and practice.

Salvation. We believe that all men everywhere are lost and will face God on Judgment Day. Those who have never received Jesus as their savior will be punished for their sins in Hell. For the salvation of sinful people, personal faith in Jesus Christ, repentance from sins, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit are absolutely essential.

Christian Living. We must submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, strive to live a holy life, and care for the suffering and social needs of humanity.
