ABOUT GOD​

​

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe.  He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

[Genesis 1:1 & 26-27; Matthew 28:19]

​

​

ABOUT JESUS CHRIST​

​

Jesus Christ is the only Son of God.  Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.  Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on the cross.  He rose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death.  He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.

[Isaiah 9:6; I Corinthians 15:3-4]

​

​

ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT

​

The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son.  He inspired holy men of old to write the Scriptures.  He convicts men of their sins and calls them to the Savior.  He cultivates and comforts believers and bestows the spiritual gifts by which they serve God through His church.  We believe that a believer is baptized into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirit at the time of salvation

(I Corinthians 12:13). However, following Salvation, a believer, by offering himself to God as a living sacrifice, can experience a deeper work of the Holy Spirit, by receiving the gift of speaking in other tongues (prayer language).

[Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 5:18]

​

​

ABOUT THE BIBLE

​

The Bible is God's Word to man.  It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit.  The Bible is the supreme source of truth for Christians.  Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any error.

[Psalms 119:160 & 2 Peter 1:20-21]

​

​

ABOUT SALVATION

​

Salvation is God's free gift to man, but we must accept His gift.  We can never make up for our sin with self-improvement or by good works, only trusting in Jesus Christ, as God's offer of forgiveness, can anyone be saved from sin's penalty.  Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God.

[Romans 6:23 & Ephesians 2:8-9]

​

​

ABOUT ETERNITY

​

We will either exist forever separated from God by our sin, or we will exist forever with God through His forgiveness and salvation.  To be forever separated from God is to be in Hell, but to be forever in union with God is eternal life in heaven.  Both heaven and hell ARE real places of eternal existence.

[John 3:16 & Revelation 20:15]

​

​

ABOUT PRAISE & WORSHIP

​

When we assemble, we place great emphasis on praise and worship.  Together in corporate worship, we acknowledge the worth-ship of the one true God in the singing of His goodness and mercy and in the telling of His mighty acts and excellent greatness.  We worship in the dance, and in the sounding of instruments, in the clapping and raising our hands, and in the shout of the Lord.  An essential part of our worship is in the presenting of tithes and offerings, in prayer and thanksgiving, and in the proclaiming of the scriptures.  We believe whole heartedly in making a joyful noise unto our God and taking every opportunity, with every breath, to praise the Lord. 

[Psalms 150:6; Malachi 3:10; Psalms 98:4-8]
